You can try here:

His name is Fred Wilders (I think) and he sent me a list a few months back with "French Connection" Feature on it. I think! He is located here in the USA.

Robert, hate to burst your bubble, but I bought Fred's print of "French Connection". Lovely print on that Kodak SP. A few scenes have the slightest, (almost unseeable) brown to the blacks and beautiful color.

Yours will turn up sooner or later.

Best regards

OSI

I watched this again last night on BBC1.
What a fantastic film. I too would love to get this full length on Super 8, along with the French Connection 2.

No doubt at some point we both will Robert.

Hi Dave,

Not sure if you collect 16mm film, but i have been told that this tile comes up alot on 16mm. As i have found a copy on 16mm from the states. Which is in excellent condition print.

Best,

Rob.
