PM me if you have any information! From what I have read a bunch of the IAWL prints were really poor. Are there certain releases that are better than others?

Just wait Dave ... watch ebay, as people who want to sell "IAWL" always tend to haul out they're prints for sale at this time. Expect to pay anywhere between 50.00 to 150.00 for the title, depending on the interest at the time. It was a "Niles" print from my memory but a pretty good Niles print.

I've had one Dave and without knowing from memory now, what release it was, all I can say is I sent it back to the dealer I purchased it from.

It was ok in the best parts, but on some parts, it appeared to have a grading fault, and was subsequently very very dark as a projected image, even with a very bright lamp behind it.

It's a film I too would love to find another print of on Super 8mm one day, but it would have to be an excellent print in every aspect including condition.

It is a fantastic seasonal classic that most certainly, most collectors would desire among their collections.

Definitely a holiday classic film. I treasure my very good copy in 16mm. I couldn't find it in Super 8...but with the holidays looming Ebay might have just what you are looking for. I hope you get it Dave. [Smile]
