I have seen some prints of this old UA short listed for sale in 8mm sound and am baffled. Did someone just soundstripe them or was this officially released in sound? And if it is a real sound release does anyone have a print available for sale? Please let me know. Thanks!

I haven't seen this specific title in sound, but I'm guessing it's probably an official release as I have sound editions of HOW TO SUCCEED AS A GANGSTER and A MAN CALLED BOGART, as well as 42nd STREET as issued by United Artists 8.

It's a shame that Ken Films only released these as silent prints after they reissued them (with the exception of 42nd STREET, which they did not reissue).

I too would love to buy a sound copy of the Bette Davis film.
