16 MM FEATURE FILMS FOR SALE

MOST TITLES HAVE BEEN PRICE REDUCED.

"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 entertain-
ment 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. $40.00
"SHINING VICTORY" A great little drama that keeps you guessing -it
just has a very non-formulaic plot--one that is impossible to completely
anticipate which makes the film more enjoyable because of it. A lot of
the British colony of supporting players got into this film, folks like British
music hall comedian Billy Bevan, Donald Crisp and Montagu Love playing
older mentors for the star
James Stephenson. Sad to note
this gentleman died just after
the movie was finished at the
age of 52. And then there is
Bette!.......According to Bette
Davis in her biography 'Mother
Goddam', "I disguised myself as
a nurse and appeared on the
set as an extra. The Producer
didn't recognize me for the first
few takes. I had a ball. Imagine
daring to do this today. $50.00
"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 (U.S) $2,000,000. 15 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? $50.00
"THE STARMAKER". Bing Crosby. Good mention in "HALLIWELLS". VARIETY called it 'a rollicking filmusi-
cal'. 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'. My friends found this to be thoroughly enjoyable - no toilet breaks. They also gave it a 3 star
rating, which is WOW to them!. $55.00
"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. $40.00
"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 them-
selves 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. $50.00
