Hi all

this is probably more for the U.K. guys, really. I know that the legendery U.K. comedy team made two feature films that Walton or Tony Powell released - I think?/ were they full length "That Riviera touch" and "Magnificent two"..they may have been 400"...does any one know if any of the boys shows are around on 16mm?? When I used to deal in 16mm I picked up an awful lot of 16mm BBC prints - Dads army, Steptoe and even a Drv Who...but never a Morecambe and wise...any help or advice would be appreciated. Mark [Smile]

Collectors clus released a colour sound 400' of "The Magnificent Two", which is a bit rare, but I've heard the colour on them has held up quite well.

I have on Super 8 4x400' in black and white "The Magnificent Two". Only part one has a stuck on label with no indication of the distributor. There is a large picture of the two behind prison bars, and below a typed description of the story. Also a mention of "Abridged version, 75 mins approx.".

The leaders actually say "The Magnificent Duo".
