Thanks Daniel,
Yes I still have Casablanca. It is on my list of about a dozen movies that I still need to look at and get screen shots posted to the forum. A few people were interested in the film...I hope it lives up to expectations.

Cheers,
Richard

Also a quick update to the group regarding the status of films posted so far:

Forbidden Planet [SOLD]
Poltergeist [SOLD]
Godfather [SOLD]

Other discussions ongoing regarding a few of the other items noted to date, but nothing set in stone - yet. I will do my best to continue to update the list of what has been sold.

Feel free to drop me a PM.

Thanks
Richard

Citizen Kane = $100 US

-2x1200' (metal Elmo reels)
-RKO Radio Picture
-Black and White
-Has quite a number of lines (see screenshots) – perhaps typical of an old film like this? Not sure if this quality is typical of the time period, but will leave for others to judge
-Sound was good.
-Proposed cost does not include shipping or any applicable taxes at point of entry

-

As always appreciate any and all feedback from Forum members

I have had a couple of requests for some more screen shots for Citizen Kane. It is my understanding that there are a couple of versions of this film?... Please find below some screen shots from Reel 2 (except of course for the Citzen Kane Intro). Hope this helps.

Thanks
Richard
