Hey folks! Here's a rare one! A super 8 optical sound print of this film, the ebay auction is as follows ...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321050565560
Please note: The color is spot on, very very good! However, being that the sprocket area of this super 8 optical sound has that dark purplish/black cast to it, I cannot verify for an absolute fact that this is low fade, but being when this print came out, (and they were converting to low fade at that time) it is probably LPP, also given that color is so dang good. However, there is a possibility that it isn't, so please keep that in mind, as we don't want to steer anybody wrong. Very good sharp print, lovely loud optical soundtrack.

This is flat, and very sharp.
There is, of course, the Scope edition of this from Derann films years ago, but still, a very rare print, certainly on Super 8 optical sound! In some ways (and I have both scope and this flat version) this one is more fun to watch on the big screen, as it fills the whole screen, while the scope is certainly great, but leaves a lot of open screen space on top and bottom. Just my opinion.

Still, even without this being scope, well, I project BIG (my screen is a good 275 from top left corner to the bottom right corner), and to fill the whole screen with an image in many cases is more preferrable to me!
... and most optical sound print, (like this one, for instance) are so incredibly sharp, that they look really good at that size, where other super 8 prints are not all that great at a very large size.
