Super 8 film - Hello Dolly trailer (scope)
Super 8 film - Dracula trailer (Hammer - 1958)

The Dracula trailer is the companion to my feature. Don't have Hello Dolly feature though

Dolly is a great film David as i'm certain you already are acutely aware! ha ha

Do you have the feature David on 8 or anything else for that matter?

I haven't seen the trailer advertised on low fade but if I ever do, i'd love to put it before the feature. it really is one of my favourite Musicals.

Does any one know if derann did a feature of Bugsy Malone ?, or is it just Walton who did a print ?. I have been offered this from a collector, this is the one with Jodie Foster in I believe.

A great movie Andrew, with good old satchmo, and a very young Micheal " some mothers do have em" Crawford. A great print from derann, and another musical that missed the boat. Did I read somewhere that Gene Kelly directed the dance sequence's.

Hi Paul, DFS did indeed release a 3x600 of "Bugsy" , Walton's 4x400, a 1x400' and an airline print on opt. snd. A lovely film
and one of the few musicals I can sit through.

Thanks you Hugh, your a fountain of accurate knowledge. I could remember the box's for the Walton print, but not the DFS version, I can now assume he has
the Derann version. That's good to know.

No problem Paul, I wish I was as knowledgeable as yourself and some of our other members. There was a full length print sold on
ebay over the Christmas period, I would have bought it but if I remember, there was another film I was chasing, so had to keep focused,
damned if I can remember which one it was.

Just dropped in my mailbox (or rather Strømstad Postkontor - Swedish postal services) today was three Laurel & Hardy's. Brats, A Chump at Oxford and Bonnie Scotland. Look forward to seeing them

Had a couple of parcels from Bert at Super8warehouse, "Man in the Iron Mask" 3x400, "Stranger in Town", Return of the Stranger","The
Hellbenders" and " A Handfull of Gold" from Bd cine, " Dead Men Ride", Django Kill" and "Chuck Mool", all Spaghetti westerns well cooked.

The One That Got Away and The One That Nearly Got Away, Walton 2 xx400ft b&w

Picked up a really nice little 200' silent std 8mm film from Vlad the Impaler on ebay,"The Beast with Five Fingers" starring Peter Lorre, who was
the first Hollywood actor to use martial arts on screen, but his Jiu Jitsu would have been no good against his assailant here, a disembodied hand, nicely edited and very good print. Vlad gets a bad press, but he does have some good films, sometimes at over the top prices, but if you make a reasonable offer, he usually sells.

Did you get it cheaper than listed? He's expensive, but listens to offers :-)

Hi Vidar, it was listed a few weeks ago at about £20,00, but came down to £9.99 inc. post, which is fine. I have made offers on his
films in the past, the last one was a documentary on "The Devils" by Ken Russell, priced at £39.99, I got it for about £25.00, colour snd 400'.

I now need to edit The One That Got Away and The One That Nearly Got Away, to make a mini feature, cuts are needed to make. the story flow, as the two extracts are not just title cut and join, both have the plane coming down, but extract two spends more time on this scene, it's a bit on the dark side print wise, Walton B&W again.

I never heard of The One that Nearly Got away, just the first one.

I would think its a title Walton gave to their extract from the film Robert.

Yes the second extract Nearly Got Away, is where Hardy Kruger tries to escape in the plane at the airfield, the first extract is where he escapes on the train to Canada and makes it to what was then neutral USA.

Well after a little extra wait, "Black Sabbath" arrived from the USA, a bit of fade, as I knew, the gels make a lot of difference here but a title I'm pleased to have, put onto 1600' & 2200' spools. It is the American cut, so the editing is different to the Italian version, new scenes shot with Boris Karloff as he introduces the three tales of terror, slight editing of gore scenes, even cutting out the hint of lesbianism that changes the story of "The Telephone" considerably, the Americans did this with "Black Sunday" to dispel the incestuous brother and sister relationship.
Even the awful Les Baxter music score, instead of Roberto Nicolosi's more appropriate music, in both films, can't totally ruin the
masterful work of Bava, but the Americans had a bloody good try. In all of this, a very good evenings entertainment, repeated again
the following night, oh, for Italian versions of both films, "Why ask for the moon when we have the stars", to pinch a line from "Now Voyager".

I remember a film with Peter Lorre, where the hand of a murdered musician came back and strangled him.

beast with five fingers?

I will try to find out and come back on it.

Yes that is the one Clyde.

My most recent purchases include (Both are Super-8): 400' B & W Sound: Appeasement at Munich. (Documentary.) 200' B & W Silent: Daredevils of the Red Circle.(An extract from the 1939 serial.)

Fridays meeting in the Norwegian Film Collectors Club gave me a couple of new films. Three or four 1 pound 16mm educationals, Skyjacked, 16mm scope feature, a 400' Super 8 called Cowboy (I think it was with Jack Lemmon) and I pre bid on a film (I had to go early due to not driving myself) of a Super 8 Bud and Terrence film I do not recall the name on. Will pick it up next meeting.

Managed to win the bid (I was the only one ) on a tight little thriller "Valley of Eagles" with Jack Warner & Chris Lee, it should be
with me long before "The Long Ships" & "The Hunting Party" that are making their way through the Global shipping routine.
