Last night the short "Rhubarb" from Derann with Harry Seccombe and Eric Sykes (who also wrote and directed it). Not exactly a non dialogue film but all anyone does is mutter "Rhubarb, rhubarb". A nice Buck labs print on Agfa stock bought at CHC at the May open day. Delayed viewing as I have been helping at a CAMRA beer festival all last week.

Had a nice show of Classic titles.
Included the wonderful Buddy's Theatre cartoon, a personal favourite of mine.
The History Channel in 2010 screened this piece of TV which will fascinate you.

[QUOTE=Douglas Meltzer;n101632]Brian,
The Heat's On is from Columbia 8mm. Most of Columbia's releases were printed by Triangle Labs in the US. Mountain distributed much of Columbia's product in the UK, often with different box art.
Thanks, I had a feeling it wasn't a Mountain version edited and printed in the UK like some of theirs.

Last week it was the turn of another Scope reel, just curious has any film conventions screened the likes of "The Neverending Story"? Derann released so many films onto Super 8, perhaps more of it could could be shown at some future date especially in Scope?.
Took a couple of screen shots of it last week, print quality is still looking good
PS....Came across the LP of the soundtrack plus the 45 in my favorite record and everything else store in very good condition.
the 45...
right now back to the movies....

I watched a couple of 200 footers last night. 'Mickey's Trailer' and 'Bambi Falls in Love' from EBay. Both Buck Labs prints with nice colour. Had to clean 'Mickey's Trailer' with Filmguard to fill in some crazing on the emulsion. It looked like a new print afterwards. 'Bambi Falls in Love' was an LPP print with some dirt at the start. Again, a wee clean with Filmguard removed the dirt and it looked great. I usually clean most prints I get but project them first to see what state they're in. It's nice to get prints without scratches but sometimes you just can't believe that someone would allow their gate and film path to get so filthy that the print gets badly scratched. We're all different.
