I've been running a few of my old Walton prints and I have some amazing finds..
At the very depths of my collection in a dusty old cupboard, I found some titles which I forgot I had! I picked out some Walton films just to see if they had stood the test of time and I was thrilled at what I saw..
Whirlpool, 200ft B/W Sound. I loved this film when I first bought it in the local secondhand shop. I ran it today and fell in love with it all over again. The B/W print is still nice and crisp and has NO flaws! The sound is good, too. Nice box art!
Dr Jekyll & Mr Mouse - Tom & Jerry cartoon, 200ft Colour/Sound. This film is probably the oldest package movie I have. The box is tattie, the print is splicey at the front, it has black lines. But the colour and the sound are amazing!!! This print has got to be about 32+ years old and there is NO FADE, and the print is SHARP!
Perfect Day - Laurel & Hardy 200ft B/W Sound. This has got to be one of my favourite comedies on 8mm. So funny, and the B/W Print is stunning for the age, no warping and a very nice print indeed!
Rock-a-Bye Pink - Pink Panther Cartoon, 200ft Colour/Sound. I was VERY surprised by this film. The sharpness and the colour on this print was stunning! The colours were strong and vibrant and this one has got to be 30 years old too!
Just goes to show you Walton were second to none with their prints..
