tonight was a film for my Brother, Bugles in the afternoon. one of his favourite Westerns, while i only like a handful of good westerns i have to say this one is actually a really good film starring Ray Milland and Hugh Marlow. I bought this one for jut Ģ60 just before xmas on 2 x 1600ft spools, i wasn't expecting too much due to the age but what a surprise, a quick clean up and check, there were only two splices in the whole film, both 1st class, it has an excellent pin sharpe b/w image and as always excellent sound with hardly a mark on it. Unfortunatly my screenshots are not good and appear to make the print look dupe but it is actually a very good contrast print, the digi camera never really shows my films as they really are up there. This now means that we can sell on the 4 x 400ft STD 8 version we have had. This one is completely uncut.
A little bit of useless info for you, During the titles you will notice a blanked out name, this was due to the headhunt of so called communists during this period of time in Hollywood. Ray Milland Served in the Household Cavalry in the UK. An expert shot, he became a member of his company's rifle team, winning many prestigious competitions, including the Bisley Match in England and was a guard at Buckingham Palace.

Here is a further favorit out of my collecting. Suna no onna/Woman in the Dunes - Japan 1964 - Director: Hiroshi Teshigahara with Eiji Okada and Kyoko Kishida
An entomologist went out to the coast, looking for certain insect species for his research, he plans to write a book about this subject. In the afternoon, he relaxes a bit and misses the last bus back to the city. Residents from a nearby village meet him and offer him a resident in the dunes, were a lovely young woman hosts him. As he went away, he recognized, that he cannīt leave this accomodation in which he resident, because of impassable dunes. Now he was forced to stay there...
I love this movie. This movie runs approximately 147 min , but it never getīs boring. The soundtrack is disturbing and strange, matches very good to that picture. It doesnīt have to be always an exploitation movie:-).
