Heres an old 400 footer form Columbia.
This is actually a very well edited 400 ft reel and not a single word from a narrator.
I bought this brand new and it was a pin sharp excellent print, unfortunately on a money raiser years ago i sold it. DOAH!!!!
A few more years later i found this copy for a fiver, its very good but has a couple of minor light black lines and its not quite as sharp as my original but it's ok and is a very entertaining 17 minute reel and does have excellent sound as did most American columbia prints. This one would have made a superb 3 x 400 footer like the Exorcist.
I will add, as always, that these screenshots are quite shocking as the print is actually a hell of a lot better than what you see here.
Here is the plot edited to this version.
On October 6, 1970, while on holiday in Istanbul, American college student Billy Hayes straps 2 kg of hashish blocks to his chest. While attempting to board a plane back to the United States with his girlfriend, Billy is arrested by Turkish. He is strip-searched.
During his first night in holding at a local jail, a freezing-cold Billy sneaks out of his cell and steals a blanket, his second mistake, later, he is rousted from his cell and brutally beaten by chief guard Hamidou for the blanket theft.
A few days later ,in Sağmalcılar Prison, surrounded by fellow Western prisoners Jimmy Max and (an English heroin addict played by John Hurt).
Billy is sent to trial for his case where the angry prosecutor makes a case against him for drug smuggling. The lead judge is sympathetic to Billy and gives him only a four-year sentence for drug possession.
His stay becomes harsh and brutal: terrifying scenes of physical and mental torture follow one another, culminating in Billy having a breakdown. He beats up and nearly kills Rifki. Following this breakdown & he is sent to the prison's ward for the criminally insane, where he wanders in a daze among the other disturbed and catatonic prisoners.
He bribes Hamidou into taking him to the sanatorium, where there are no guards. Instead, Hamidou takes Billy past the sanatorium to another room—and prepares to rape him. Fighting back, Billy inadvertently kills Hamidou by pushing him onto a coat hook. He seizes the opportunity to escape by putting on a guard's uniform and walking out of the front door. In the epilogue, it is explained that—on the night of October 4, 1975—he successfully crossed the border to Greece, and arrived home three weeks later.
