That looks a good print there Dave, and the original box.
I've never seen this film but now i am very curious.

Classic film from Walton, their B/Ws were usually top dollar, "Third Man" another good example. A very good buy David, especially
as Walton always gave a full spool.

Hugh. The Third Man is one of my very favourite films and certainly one I will look out for on super 8mm. Missed out on a Walton feature on eBay just recently .. still never mind! In my mind the 'Eifel Tower' film is very underrated. Just a shame that it is in B/W( just how Walton did it!!) but the 400footer shows the finale of the film with the climb and chase on the tower. A good one for my collection!

We are fortunate to gave that 10 reel feature of the third man.if i remember correctly we paid about 40 due to the first reel being a little splicey with light black lines but its clear after 100ft or so. Well recommended if one comes up.and a great pin sharp print to.

I still have "Third Man", but I did trade in another great film from PM Films, "Odd Man Out", another feature and also a 600' release,
worth looking out for, telling the tale of an IRA man on the run, starred James Mason, among others, but a very good film.
