Have they ever had the Blondie movies available on Super8mm or 16mm as feature length releases? Not really interested in digests. I've seen trailers for 16mm.

Hello Ernie,

for a few weeks a collector in germany sold his two [Eek!]

16mm prints of the good, the bad and the ugly. He has the german and the english dubbed version of this film. Both films are flat versions. He didn't have a sales price, he whant best offers from other collectors.

by the way sometimes on ebay (america) are prints (16mm) of a fistfull of dollars for sale.

I hope this helps.

Ralf

If you include ALL spaghetti westerns by Sergio Leone, (and not just his Clint Eastwood films), I know of :

Once Upon A Time In The West (Marketing films, both Digest and feature.)

My Name is Nobody (Marketing Digest, also a 5X400ft edited scope feature, it's great, I've got it!)

There maybe other, but I don't know of them off hand.

If you are into Spaghetti westerns in general, Italy put out quite a few of the better titles in the 1970's, I believe.

"Once Upon A Time In The West" as marketing-full-length-feature is only "flat". But there are also scope-versions floating around released only a couple of years ago. And my marketing-print was turning a little bit reddish. So I sold it.

I'm confused. Is this thread about spaghetti westerns or Blondie movies?

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on September 23, 2008, 08:31 PM:

Clint Eastwood's character, in the three westerns he made for Sergio Leone ...

A Fistful of Dollars
For A Few Dollars More
The Good The Bad and the Ugly

... was called "Blondie", (actually I think he was only called that in the third and last of the three.)

Come to think of it, wasn't a 2X400 put out of "For A Few Dollars more", or was it "A Fistful of Dollars"?

Posted by Ralf Hoff (Member # 36) on September 24, 2008, 09:12 AM:

Osi,

you are right. Marketing Films released For A Few Dollars more as a 2 x 400 digest and A Fistful of Dollars as 1 x 400 version.

By the way the fist Django with Franko Nero is also a spaghetti western and was released as a digest from Marketing (1x400).

But I think Ernie is not interested in digests.

Thanks for the info everyone. [Smile]

I'll keep my eyes out for them on ebay.

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on September 26, 2008, 11:13 AM:

Ernie,

I can't say for sure, but perhaps there would be some neat optical super 8 feature titles, as the different countries had thier own optical sound labs, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are quite a few available out there. It's just a guess however.

Tony-

Thanks for asking that question. I was gonna ask the same thing. Thought I was going crazy or something [Embarrassed]

.

By the way, that is a good question- ARE there any of the old Blondie and Dagwood movies available on super 8 or 16mm?

James.

James,

I too am on the lookout for BLONDIE (The Lake/Singleton films) movies on 16mm - they do show up in 16mm on Ebay USA now and then.

Paul Foster recently had one.

There was a great mickey take spaggetti western called Rebels on the loose,3 x 400ft in a good sylish case to. The film was very good quality and appeared to well cut down. It was clearly a parady of the three Eastwood films, GB & the ugly plus the two "Dolloars" films. The only down side to it, (and the only reason i sold it, and now wished i hadnt), was the very poor sync problem, Obviously it was dubbed into English but the sound was in some cases 5 seconds or more out.
Oddly enough, the same company did a 3 x 400 ft cutdown of a film Called The Adventurer, aka the Rover with a superb score by Ennio Morriconi and starring Antony Quinn and Rita Hayworth, again the sync was so bad in some scenes it became difficult to watch. I'm sure it was Techno films.

If you get a chance to see rebels on the loose and you like the Spaggetti westerns you'll love it.
