Nice reel, Graham! I kick myself for not getting The Pod Race when I had the chance.

I finished editing the audio to match Columbia's silent cutdown of the 1935 Boris Karloff film The Black Room. It's a complicated story to tell in 200' but they did a good job. Audio adds a lot to this one.

Karloff is excellent in a dual role, plus kudos to Von the dog for his fine acting job in a pivotal role. Von also appeared in the Our Gang short Roamin' Holiday.

Last night with one fairly full Scope reel

1....Busy Buddies "Tom and Jerry"
2....Titanic trailer.
3....Egg and Jerry.
4.....Bearly Asleep 1955 an excellent Derann release.
5.....Shakespeare 400 a very interesting film.
6.....South Pacific
7....."2001 A Space Oddity" trailer
8.....Star Wars The Phantom Menace trailer.
9.....followed by the full length of "The Pod Race" a must to show of Super8 in Scope.

Apart from Busy Buddies all the other films have got good color and sound

A couple of screen shots from last night.

2001 trailer

[Chip Gelmini]

Too bad it wasn't LPP & scope

[Douglas Meltzer]

Distributed by Columbia 8mm, the Superman 400' digest is one of the best edits ever. There's definite fade, but those blues are hanging in there!

[Brian Fretwell]

Due to our mayoral elections I had to watch the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Ballot Box Bunny". Thankfully a female horse was not elected "Mare" in London!!

[Lee Mannering]

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE oh oh seven. 6 reels of Scope Stereo heaven.

Closed with El Mago de Oz (Wizard of Oz) The old 400ft with colour treatment, and a Stereo sound track from 4K. Such a great nostalgia watch. My late father used to hire the 16mm print to show us at Christmas. Memories...

[Graham Ritchie]

Bought this feature new many moons ago from Derann its been quite a while now since I last screened "Beauty and the Beast" so it was a joy to watch it tonight, both picture and Stereo sound were excellent.

[Oliver Feld]

Thank You for this information, Osi. I didn’t know that.

[Osi Osgood]

We watched a fun little Niles reel of Sherlock Holmes trailers. As long as Niles Films stayed with black and white, they did a good job, especially being that quite often trailer releases tend to be from 35mm, instead of highly worn 16mm prints with sometimes dubious contrast.

[Osi Osgood]

Oliver, except for a slight trimming, there was an optical sound feature of this film, as I used to own it
