French Connection

[Osi Osgood]

Who released this feature on super 8? I always thought it was a Marketing Films release, but I can't find it in they're catalog.

Osi,

Ken Films released this both as a digest and as a full length feature. They also did the same with the sequel.

I am sure that this has been discussed before, but how many feature films did Ken Films release? BTW, French Connection is a very sharp print, which also incorporates both letterbox as well as full frame, depending on the scene.

Here's a thread from the Grand Old Forum about Ken's features.

The French Connection is a better print than FC 2. For a while Derann always had odd reels of French Connection on their sales lists. They were polyester prints. I started with 400 then worked by way up to a home produced mini feature of about 70 to 75 minutes before acquiring the Ken full feature.

Thanks for that link, Doug!
