Is there available a complete list of the cutdowns (1,2 & 3-part) that DERANN issued? I don't want buy a 1-part digest if other parts exist.

The Great Escape & The Magnificent Seven were 2x400ft scope and flat. Good prints too.
The Avengers were both 3x400ft and 1x400ft also good prints. I would say the vast majority of the 400ft were only available in that format. Remembering that most were 4x400ft abridged.

Thanks, Maurice. To be more specific I'm interested in the classic Warner Bros./UA titles (like the ones you've listed). Many of them were available as single 400' cutdowns, but some were also released as 2 and 3 parters.

One of the U/A 'The Adventures Of Robin Hood' apart from a full length release, was available as 3 self contained 400ft extracts edited I believe by Keith Wilton.

These edited into a 3 x 400ft version. Keith did a good job on these making the re-editing fairly simple.

A further 400ft was released, I don't think this made any attempt to tell a story, it was just to add more scenes.

If you can get all four it makes a good film. I have this in my collection.

Another 'Carrie' was done in the same way 2 x 400ft.

I wish I had bought more of the U/A films. I have bought a couple over the last year and enjoyed watching them.

I think my taste in films is moving back in time. The new releases don't appeal to me, other than the odd one. The first four that Maurice mentioned I have enjoyed viewing.

I have CARRIE (I bought it on an 800' spool already edited in order) last year and the print has held up really good...nice color and nice editing. I also have Q and PHANTASM but they are just 400'ers.

Thanks, Bill [Smile]
