Moving my 'scope viewing onto Cineavision prints A couple of Tom & Jerry cartoons. "Touche Pussy Cat" and "Busy Buddies" both faded and pale on Eastman, but no obvious colour shift to pink!!
The baby in "Busy Buddies" gives Tom & Jerry more trouble than Baby Herman does Roger Rabbit, I wonder if it was the inspiration for him.
A coulour amateur standard/regular 8 shot at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels. It has been a major event for the city and it has been remembered during several decades. The subject is more than interesting but the cameraman couldn't help move his camera all the time, which is a basic mistake. However, the lenght of the film (120 m/ 400 ft) makes it a precious document as you can see many aspects of this famous fair.
I watched a number of 50 footers. 15 films in less than an hour!
Ken:
The Beast with Five Fingers
Return of Dracula
Dinosaurus
Varan the Unbelievable
Scared Stiff
The Monster That Challenged the World
Disney:
Country Bear Jamboree
The Haunted Mansion
Pirates of the Caribbean
Monstro the Whale
The Tortoise and the Hare
Tea for Two Hundred
Three Little Pigs
Good Scouts
Monster From Under the Sea
That's great, I never thought of applying that term to this! It can be hit or miss with these short versions. Dinosaurus uses full screen dialogue titles which aren't necessary and they take up way too much valuable footage.
This weekend we had an outdoor cinema in the back garden.
1 x 200 Tom & Jerry - Two Mousketeers (Walton)
1 x 200 Advert reel - Long Life, Condor, The Dry Look, Saturday Show, Tavern, Embassy Slim Panatellas (Derann)
4 X 400 John Alderton with Deryck Guyler - Please Sir! (Walton)
A few days ago, when the forum was down, a standard/regular 8 1923 silent film : Cricket On The Hearth. It's amzing all the titles you can find on this gauge. I didn't know the word "hearth", so not only did I enjoy a film but I also learned something.
