It is so frustrating when you buy a film in good faith, thinking it is a 4x 400' slight edit, to put it on the projector, watch it and think "I'm sure there is something missing. That just didn't follow on properly."
That happened to me this evening. Checking the leader on each reel (the tail was a great help) Reel one said "Tail R1&2" Reel 2 said "Tail 5&6" , then 7&8, then 9&10 which completely supported my suspicion that the real reel 2 was missing ("Tail 3&4") and that the film "Casbah" was released as a 5x 400'
SO......
Does anybody have a spare Reel 2 of the film "Casbah" starring Peter Lorre that they can let go of, please ? It does not need to be in tip top condition as the rest of the film is in well used "tramlines down the right hand side" condition, and the sound is only mediocre.
It would just be nice to have a complete print.
Thank you in advance.
