Many Japanese films were shown in Japanese theaters in Hawaii over the decades and there is a book on these places with film posters. I assume there were a lot of Japanese in Hawaii at the time). Ignoring the climatic conditions in Hawaii, I wonder what happened to the prints as they finished their ...

Not so if it had been videotape as many a flooded TV station basement in USA have found to their horror.

Zarah Leander was a Swedish actress who had played in the Merry Widow on the Swedish stage and made some recordings from the show. She was at one time married to Swedish dance band leader Arne Hulphers. She made a number of German films and was said to be a favorite of Hitler. One of her wartime fil...

Unfortunately, I was too late as the film has been withdrawn for Copyright reasons which never makes sense to me.

I am not sure what this is all about but worth a look.

Steve there have been other reports in the past. I can name a dozen people I have read obits for and at least one is still alive all these years later(Gloria De Haven, once married to actor John Payne) and that was in a reference book by a respected UK film reviewer who should have known better!!!!

I met and knew Marty when he worked for Thunderbird Films in LA during the 1970s. He sold me a reel of 16mm color takes from the aborted Judy Garland Annie Get Your Gun. He had it on an 800 foot reel in the rear of his old Pinto in the blazing summer sun in LA!!! His friend Murray Glass(both animati...

And Grapevine Video put out a copy on DVD in the last couple of years. I believe that the NFSA Blu Ray is BD-R, not replicated. I knew the man who said he found the film dumped in Sydney, I met him at the Australian Film Institute in the 1970s and he worked for the SAFC who I sold material to then a...

That Vitaphone audioless list sort of matches the number German features that are said to be completely lost and no mention of what shorts they no longer had. Different reasons, though, then Vitaphone. Somewhere in the middle of USA some many years ago(1970s) was a huge warehouse with 78s and it wen...

Anthony Slide was born in Birmingham/UK on Nov 7 1944.

No 257 Frasquita(1934) Carl Lamac film made in Austria. This stars Czech opera singer Jarmilla Novotna and comedian Heinz Ruhmann who had a rather long life and made many films to the end. I had or have a video tape of this film so it might appear that this exists. I got the copy from a local teache...

Outside of Bitter Sweet(UK 1933) the other handful films he is said to be in have not surfaced on DVD, not that this has either although I had the film on 16mm. Bowlly is listed as Singer and I believe early in the film you see his hands on his guitar in the Lew Stone Orchestra as the camera does a ...

Thanks. Keep on doing these. Much appreciated.

I enjoyed that track. Tragically, I had and also sold to customers all the Japanese resissue LPs of Canaro but lost them or they disappeared after I had a serious fire in my storage area in May 1997. I did sell a lot to my customers at the time who bought up the series as I got them. The Carmen Mira...

On the Shores of Nova Scotia, Glimpses of New Scotland, Cape Breton Island & Glimpses of New Brunswick) would turn up on this first Well I got mine, GLIMPSES OF AUSTRALIA which is halfway down Disc 2of3 and concentrates on my city of Melbourne. My late Dad alerted me to to it many years ago. My pac...

Mademoiselle from Armentieres(1926)

Another one the BFI Collections seem to have a lot of footage available.

Exciting shots of what was once!! The tram tracks in the b&w are not visible in the color shot of the same picture. In my major city. Melbourne/Australia. Many of the theatres are still in the city and used in some form. The tram tracks are still there and much used. And an underground rail system h...

Australia did have a state by state Censorship board until modern times. When I imported film(16mm & 8mm gauges) into Australia they had to go the censorship office from the Post Office or airport and I had to be at the import location port before they sent it off and then wait for a card to say the...

I used to own a Super8mm sound print-down of a one-reel Lee DeForest Phonofilm that featured the Broadway cast of "Show Boat". I can't find any reference to it online, but I did own a copy of it at one time. The film consisted of some silent shots of two or three men sitting in the audience of the ...

Don't know how many, if any, survive. There was a srory circulating around years ago that the RKO (successor to F.B.O.) vault guy supplemented his income by sending the F.B.O. films to silver reclamation. Yes, I heard this story too in a similar fashion. I read that Joe Franklin(not always a reliabl...

I have the Laserdisc set which does have the then known discs incorporated into the film where they belong and then silence until the next disc cuts in. I understand more discs have been found but George Feltenstein, in charge of these older film releases, did promise a set for the anniversary of th...

Great stuff. Al Bowlly singing from British early 1930s 78s. Be nice to get a download. Can't seem to do that from Facebook video footage.

Wolper also bought the screen tests etc for Gone With the Wind.

Hitler is said to have loved Fred & Ginger. At least Fred had an Austrian background as far as i know. The story goes the Nazis knocked off 35mm prints of their films from the Dutch film exchanges when they invaded the Holland. Who knows?

I have and may still have a few on 16mm film. There was a Laserdisc planned but nothing seems to have happened. The late David Wolper produced them for UATV who owned the pre-1948 features & shorts library of Warner Bros. then having bought them from aap(remember their logos on Popeye cartoons on TV...

Talk about government cuts to the ABCTV is all real but then looking back they had economic wows, bad really, and wiped scores of tapes and got rid of may reels of film in the 1970s. Got no idea where the NFSA archives were that they did not grab them but them they can be funny too. ABC like the BBC...

I saw this in its first run at the old Barclay(former King's Theatre) in the CBD of Melbourne/Australia. We went with school and sat in the so-called lounge area and I was in the front roe of that. For reasons I will never know, the nuns did not want me to go. I became the film buff, if you please, ...
