Has anyone ever physically seen with their own eyes a Mountain feature print of this film? In my 40 years of collecting I have never seen one anywhere except for in the Mountain catalogue. Don't want to waste any more energy on the search if it was never really printed! I have the sound digest but the feature is nowhere to be found...

Don't worry Brian, I've had two prints over the years,one in std 8
the other s/8, I've been looking for another replacement,but it's
gone to ground. Print and sound were very good.

We also had a super 8 4x400 feature, another one of those titles we should never have sold!!! [Mad]

I have the Mountain 4X400ft feature in my collection. It's a nice print with good sound. I've got nearly all of the mountain features which I have collected over the years. The one I have been waiting years to find is "The Demon Doctor" on 4X400ft reels. Hopefully it'll show up one day.

It was Awful Dr. Orloff [Big Grin]

I remember parting company with my copy of "The Awful Dr
Orloff/Demon Doctor" on 9 reels std 8mm the same time as
"Monster of Piedras Blancas", on a deal where I was allowed £7.00
per feature because they were std 8mm.

i remember one shot in this film where the characters walk past a large window and in it you can clealry see the reflection of camera and crew being pushed along complete with mic and large lamp, [Big Grin]

i laughed every time i viewed it. classic B movie stuff.
