Tom,

Very nice review as always. I am curious, when was the last time you viewed this one?

Greg, it was when i did the review in 2016. With the rapid build up of our 16mm films from 2017 our super 8 feature viewing has been greatly reduced. This has been a good thing as it gives the 8mm projectors the break in use they need. Having said that, i dont really want to end up with so many films that many end up not being viewed year afrer year.

Looks great! I now also understand the choice of title for a Sheep Dog cartoon I own. Don't Give Up The Sheep :-) https://super8database.com/films/789

Tom,

Not to hijack the thread here, but do you have a 'time interval' where if you don't get to a film to view it within that period of time, then it becomes a potential sale candidate? I am sure there are films that you want to keep AND perhaps only view every four years, but I was thinking maybe lack of viewing for 'x' number of years triggers the decision process for you to move it on.....

Your not hijacking the thread Greg. Theres no real time limit on it. Most of our sales have usually been due to more fade than we like or more so, to simply raise funds to buy different titles. Because i like Jerry Lewis movies this one will be a keeper no matter how few times we show it.we are trying to keep get our collections down a little bit as we get older in order not to let it become a hoarders collection if that makes sense.

I believe that was a very common expression long before the Lewis film.
