  • Wanted: 1930s WB Musicals

    Hi everyone

    I'm currently looking for any 1930s Warner Brothers/Busby Berkeley musicals on 16mm. Any of the titles such as Dames, Footlight Parade and the Golddigger series would be of interest. Condition not too important as they'll be for my own private projection but as long as they're complete with no VS etc then I'll be happy.

    Preferably to be sourced from the UK where I'm based but I will consider from elsewhere if shipping costs aren't too extortionate.

    I have A Warner Bros Corny Concerto Animation. Color is faded but still enjoyable.
    The first of the two musical segments is set to Strauss' waltz Tales from the Vienna Woods. Porky Pig plays Elmer Fudd's usual role of hunter, accompanied by his unnamed hunting dog. Porky explains what he is doing via a sign reading, "I'm hunting that @!!*@ rabbit!!", which turns out to be Bugs Bunny. A series of visual gags ensue, culminating with all three characters believing that they have been shot by an angry squirrel who manages to get a hold of Porky's hunting rifle. After Porky and the dog realize that they are unharmed, they attempt to give first aid to the apparently fatally wounded Bugs while the dog bawls in tune with the music. When Porky finally pries Bugs' clenched hands off the supposed gunshot wound in his chest, Bugs is revealed to have a baby blue bra underneath. Emitting a scream of modesty, Bugs covers the bra with his left hand and slaps Porky’s face with his right hand three times and caps the bra cups over the bewildered hunters' heads and then, wearing a tutu and pointe shoes, gracefully dances off into the distance, falling over at the music's climax.​

        Thanks for the replies: Kim, I will see if I can find this somewhere online so I can view it beforehand. I have a few bugs bunny cartoons which it would compliment but they are original technicolor prints so the colour is good.

        Joe, what sort of condition is Footlight Parade in? I am interested but it would have to be an extremely fine, good quality print for me to warrant spending such amount on it. I already have 42nd street and out of the three others Footlight Parade would be my preferred choice.
