  • A little bit early for Scrooge, Brian, IMO. Another 6 or 7 weeks perhaps.....

    Anyway....

    The Man Cave has remained silent these last 3 Saturday nights. I have just returned from a trip around the Med. and Adriatic visiting 6 countries no less, 4 being brand new to me. And.... yes.....I had a wonderful time, thanks.

    However, last night it was business as usual watching the following delights.....




    Historic Film - 1x 200' - A Pathe documentary on restoring very early film, featuring movie sequences of Queen Victoria for example. Very interesting.

    The Fabulous Musicals - 1x 600' - A classic episode from the Hollywood and The Stars collection narrated by Joseph Cotton.

    Showboat - 4x 600' - Ava Gardner and Howard Keel. A film that I purchased from a well known collector years ago that still looks as good as the day it was printed. Wonderful colour.

    • I bought the cut down of Scrouge at the Big Screen Scene revival and was checking it for pairing with Mickey's Christmas Carol at Christmas.

      • They should complement each other nicely!

        All you need now (and you have probably got them already) are the Tom & Jerry + Disney versions of The Night Before Christmas.

        • I'm with you Brian as I watch the new Christmas Trailers reels and Madagascar Penguins well out of season. I love Christmas but sometimes it is just to appreciate the quality of them.

          What was the edit and quality of Scrooge like. I was interested in that 600ft at BSTR but realised I had spent too much already so left it. Still Blackpool to come .

          • The edit of Scrooge was a bit strange,Marley's ghost and the first two Spirits (Christmas Past and Present) were replaced by an intertitle, bit that did give time for a longer scene with Chistmas yet to come. So basically the set up, the revelation and the new Scrooge. Not bad though.
