I never realised they did a 600ft cut down of any of his films, i thought they were only features or 400s. The image is good on that copy. I have seen any Formby features, i think a 600ft version would be preferred and this is where super 8 comes into its own, often a good half hour version is better than the full feature, another good example is Xanado.

I think this was Deranns only 600ft cutdown of a George Formby film, the others were released as 4x400s and some 400/ 200 footers, this 600ft is very good, getting harder to find now though, Mark

A little bit of footage of the film, all this from a 100w lamp on the ST600, standard lens too, Mark

Looks like Derann got that one right, image is very clear and without the extra bright faces that bogged a few of the 200 footers they did of Formby.

Mark,
Great to see a bit of this digest, thanks for that! Interesting Derann box, would you have a scan or pic of the box cover handy? It would be nice to add this cover to the Super 8 Database...
