I bought this particular copy on its release back in the 1970s. It must have been 1981-82 I sold it. About two years ago a copy came up for sale, so I thought it would be nice to buy it for old times sake. What surprised me was finding my old stamped flat address on the box, it was the same print that had done the rounds out there for 30 odd years only to come back.

Great story Graham! This is liken to writing your name on a dollar bill or throwing a note in a bottle out to sea. There's always a chance it will return to your path some day. However the percentage for a film to boomerang is much greater with the dwindling number of film enthusiasts these days.

Great story, Graham.
I have never been a big fan of the 200' cut downs when there is a 400' cut down version, too (except when it is different footage EG The Muppet Movie / Patton (speech) ), but the 200' version of this one crossed my path recently and was totally impressed by it and just can't wait to track down the 400'. I just felt it was so ironic that this happened to me so recently, then you post this thread.
