16 mm FEATURE FILMS FOR SALE

"FOLLY TO BE WISE" British Ealing comedy. Alastair Sim was a fine actor who made some
very good comedy films. In this he is a frustrated and befuddled Royal Army chaplain and newly
appointed entertainment officer for the troops, and whatever can go wrong - does. The humour
is mostly in situations, the best being during the 'Brains Trust Show" when the Reverend (Sims)
becomes so befuddled that he causes chaos in a battle of the sexes. The cast are fine in their roles
with Roland Culver, Martita Hunt, Miles Malleson, & Colin Gordon. $45.00
"VOODOO TIGER" Directed by the 'King Of The Serials' Spencer Bennett. Jungle Jim gets
involved with a Nazi fugitive and his gang of hoodlums in a hunt for $2,000,000. 09 in art works.
Jim also has his hands full with a voodoo jungle cult and a crazed witch doctor who worship the
magical voodoo tiger, and did I fail to mention the shapely blonde jungle girl? $60.00
"THE STARMAKER". Bing Crosby. Good mention in 'Halliwells' as a pleasant minor musical.
VARIETY called it 'a rollicking filmusical'. Songs include "Go fly a kite', "East side, west side',
'An apple for the teacher', and much more. $40.00
"STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE" Spencer
Tracy, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Richard Greene, Nancy
Kelly. 'Halliwells': A prestige picture which played
reasonably fair with history and still managed to
entertain the masses. They also gave it a 3 star rating,
which is WOW!.
$60.00
"MA & PA KETTLE AT THE FAIR" Marjorie
Main & Percy Kilbride. Great comedy with laugh-out-
loud fun, simple corn making a lot of sense. The main
title is missing, but you know what you're going to see,
so hey! Pa's sermon is pure gold. $50.00
"ROAR" C/scope and colour (holding well). There's nothing fake about this film. It's shot
beautifully, on real locations. Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffith head a talented and fearless
cast, who literally throw themselves in the jaws of the beasts
over and over again. The picture has a terrific rhythm and is
fun to watch but you cannot help dwelling upon how
dangerous a film it must have been to make. Opening titles
'surfacey', with some thin running scratches in the first few
minutes mainly down right hand side of pic. $80.00
"BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE" Goldie Hawn. A delightful
1972 film adaptation of the Leonard Gershe play about a
young man who has been blind from birth (Edward
Albert)who moves into his own apartment and almost
instantly falls in love with his kooky next door neighbor
(Goldie Hawn), a flighty free spirit who has trouble with
anything resembling commitment, which he turns a blind eye
to but is picked up immediately by his clingy, over-protective
mother (Eileen Heckart). This breezy comedy still holds up
pretty well for a film that's 49 years old Colour is pink with
yellow. $30.00
