This print always red in English version. The same thing also for (non-scope) German version. Can you tell me if this is also the case for your print?

Hi Winbert,I can only speak for myself,but I can't be the only one,
the colour on my print of "Kwai" is very good as is "Navarone"
which was purchased at the same time many years ago.The print
Alexander is selling is Piccolo, which were renowned for very good
prints, I have some Piccolo prints which are over thirty years old and the colour is beautiful.

You are so lucky Hugh. I almost gave uo with those two "Kwai" and "Navarone"' both from Columbia here, as they are always no color left.

I believe your is from Mountain film with b/w art work but film is in Color.

Yes this film is in scope alone is already rare and plus good color will make It even rarer!

Hi Winbert,I did have the UK versions,but very soon got the
American prints as they were better,I can honestly say that the
colour is very good.I would hazard a guess that the colour is fine
on Alexanders print,on which he will no doubt inform.

I didn't even know that was a scope digest! This is something that I have always loved about super 8! Every couple of weeks or so, there's another title that I have never even heard of existing on super 8, popping up!

It's too bad I don't have a lot of cash to blow. I'd buy that off of you in a jiffy!
