Has anybody got a print of the Columbia 400ft Calling All Doctors ?

If anybody has, how's the sound on your copy?
I bought a print at last years BFCC and only recently got to run it. The sound is very poor.

Yes, Michael, I have. In original Columbia box #CC4021. The sound is OK on my copy.

The boys at Columbia didn't do their homework, they spelt Charley as Charlie.

Yes, that's exactly the print I have, Maurice. Hmmmm. I wonder if it's the projector. I may have to pick your brain on that on Saturday.

You could try the film on another projector. I have quite a few of the Columbia 400' comedies in their blue and white boxes and have always found the prints to be first class.

Michael
We forgot to chat about your film at the BFCC on Saturday. Did you resolve your problem with using another projector?

No, I haven't tried it on another projector, Maurice. I only have that one Super 8 machine, but I've run four different prints through it since the Chase print and all have been fine.
