I have a super 8mm feature 6X400ft reels of Casablanca for sale or swap. This Academy Award Winner is in superb condition and comes fully boxed.
Please mail me your offers either a swap, or a cash offer. Postage will be about £6.00 for this classic flick.

I am looking for Commando & Predator features on Super 8.

Hi Lee, do you know who released this in super 8mm format? [Confused]

Is it a Niles? How is this focus and sharpness of image? I would be interested in purchasing it. I don't have a trade. [Smile]

Hi. The film is in a hard brown case type and has a white printed insert with details of the film on it. All reels are blue and the film is in good order. In total the film has only been run a couple of times as I would call it as new, or near as.
Very nice print which runs well and I have had quite a few mails showing interest. Offers are most welcome inc PX.
Many thanks.

That will be the original Ken Films release. I have that release myself and the print and sound are stunning. I remember Tania and I visiting the old Super 8 shop on the Shaftesbury Avenue in London when it was originally released on Super 8 and it was a toss up between "Wargames" and "Casablanca". Bogie and Bergman won! The original packaging for those Ken Features were really good. It was a brown vinyl case, housing those nice blue plio magic reels, which snapped shut with a pop stud and had original poster art from the movie on the front and side panels of the case. "They had a date with fate in Casablanca".
Best wishes,
Paul.
