Hello,

I have just bought the super8mm full feature of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME with Charles Laughton. I can not find any laboratory name on the film leaders. As far as I know there has been published a condensed print on 4x400 ft.

Maybe someone knows who has published the full feature of this film?

Best Wishes

Heinz: I have a full length print of this. The 4 X 400 footer was the first print I had and I noticed it was an edited version. I then came across the full length version and picked it up. Full length version I believe is from Nostalgia Merchant during their brief but impressive time when they were releasing Super 8 sound prints. I have a mint print of Cat People in my collection that I am lead to believe was from them. During the first few years of VHS, Nostalgia Merchant released quite a few RKO classics as they had gorgeous prints to use from their archives. Hope this sheds some light on the subject. D'Arcy More.

Hi D'Arcy,

thank you very much for the detailed informations on THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME.

My print is in excellent condition but it misses some focus and has rather low sound. Is yours the same?

Best Wishes

Heinz: I'd have to watch mine once more to double check on that. I do recall the sound not being the best. As for focus I will have to pay more attention on that one. I run my films on an Elmo GS 1200. I do love this film so much and it is hard to compare Laughton's Quasimodo to Lon Chaney's. [Confused]
