CANADIAN PACIFIC (complete feature) starring Randolph Scott |
 |
|
Randolph Scott is heading the building the railroad as the chief
surveyor-foreman. He is engaged to young Nancy Olson but a quarrel leads him
to female doctor Jane Wyatt who is a radical peace-movement freak with a
pacifist anti-gun dogma that temporarily castrates Randolph Scot into
becoming the frontier's first metro-male. When Scott's friend is killed and
sabotage is everywhere from villain Victory Jory , who gets the Indians in an uprising
with lies and liquor, he straps his guns back on and takes charge as the
Indians attack the railroad workers.
They must hold off the Indians from their train cars until reinforcements
arrive. This wouldn't be a Niles films release without some sort of defect
and in this case , reel three is soft focus probably due to faulty
pre-print. Luckily, reel three has mostly plots and minimal action scenes
and the entire rest of the feature is quite normal with clear sound. Loads
of great train scenes both exterior and interiors of the Canadian Pacific
Railways. Super 8mm Sound / b & w / Niles Films release./ L.N. shape ......................$35. |

AFRICAN ANIMAL HUNT |

AFRICA UNTAMED
Castle Films documentary on tribes and wild life of central Africa. Up the
river on the journey, a swift current threatens to swamp the dugout. The first
stop on this journey is the home of the mysterious Pigmies. They begin their
day's hunt. A hunter spots a killer leopard which is speared and now provides
some desperately needed food for the tribe. Farther up the river is big game
country. We see great herds of zebra and antelope. Also, giraffes speeding along
at forty miles per hour. Rhinos are four-footed steamrollers. A herd of hippos
are a common sight along the river. Next is elephant country where one becomes
food for the entire village. A native dance ceremony is held to ward off the
elephant's evil spirit. This is Africa- savage, cruel, exultant and untamed!

CIRCUS FILMS for the family |
|
CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN Produced in 1937, this film pictures the traveling circus in the waning days of its glory --- days when it traveled from town to town by train---days when a parade down Main Street found every kid in the vicinity lined along the parade route hours before the quavering notes of the calliope heralded its approach. While some circuses still remain, most of them are simply shadows of their former greatness with attractions that crisscrossed the country every year. They no longer travel by train, but move by truck. And the parades---gone forever. This film shows things as they were back in the halcyon days of showmanship.

TIGER HUNT
A Castle Films animal-adventure film produced by Saul Turell and Paul Killiam
with research by William K. Everson. The tiger is the most destructive of
all the cats. A native of Asia, usually it is associated with the steaming
jungles of India and Malaya. This tiger hunt is in a much different setting;
Siberia. In the early spring when the snow is only knee deep a group of hunters
are out to capture a LIVE tiger for circus training. They encounter other
creatures such as a deer, an otter, a leopard, who also must be taken alive. The
only weapons used are forked sticks ad their skills. They catch the beast
without harm then continue on for their main objective. One of the dogs picks up
the scent! The hunters come across a half-eaten wild bear killed by a tiger. The
final shot is of the tiger jumping through hoops in a circus when it had
formally been free. Are we next Mr. President?

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
- 1981
A young boy, dressed like a depression era kid from the 1930's, passes unnoticed
through the Christmas Eve crowds of a medium sized town of the 1980's on a
journey home. Unable to get a seat on the last bus which is full, he hitch-hikes
a ride until he finally makes it to the house of an old man. He complains to the
old man
that he wasn't able to go home and have Christmas as he remembered it with his
family. The old man philosophically says you can't go home again.
The boy, in a Twilight-Zone-like turn is actually the old man as a child and
blends back into the elderly man in his chair waiting by the phone. Bt all is
not lost when
the phone rings and his son says that he is on his way to pick up "Dad" for the
holidays. Eastman stock has full colors but black tones are brownish in a scene

| THE
KING OF KINGS (1927) Cecil B. DeMille Production Having previously produced the blockbuster Biblical epic, "The Ten Commandments"(1923), the legendary Cecil B. DeMille produced this 1927 story of Jesus titled "King of Kings". Inasmuch as he was now dealing with the life of Christ, DeMille had to be careful to create a balance of showmanship and reverence for the subject matter. DeMille "introduces" Christ to the film audience in a tasteful manner with a scene of as a blind child that is cured through Jesus' intervention. DeMille cuts to the child's point-of-view, slowly fading in on the kindly countenance of Jesus, who is played by H. B. Warner. The showmanship side of DeMille soon blends in with the handling of the character of Mary Magdalene, played by Jacqueline Logan. Here, she is not a tattered streetwalker, but a glamorous courtesan, replete with legions of gorgeous slave girls (one of whom is "bubble dancer" played by Sally Rand (who else?) and dressed in revealing Hollywood-style gowns. In fact, the film opens on this character, as she ruminates over the defection of her favorite customer, Judas Iscariot, played by Joseph Schildkraut, who is spending far too much time with Jesus of Nazareth. Upon visiting Jesus herself, she immediately repents, casting off all her prior sins. The feature progresses along as DeMille adheres faithfully to the particulars of Jesus' life, betrayal, trial, Crucifixion, and Resurrection. DeMille, the showman, improves a bit upon his source material (i.e. The Bible). The storm that follows the Crucifixion is of the same spectacular dimensions as the parting of the Red Sea in his earlier epic "The Ten Commandments" while the Resurrection is filmed in vibrant Technicolor. To back up the authenticity of his images, DeMille, with an assist from scenarist Jeannie MacPherson, utilizes Scriptural quotes in his subtitles. Prepared to mercilessly lambaste "The King of Kings", the "can't do-s" of the world, also known as "critics" were disarmed by his reverent, tasteful approach to the subject. DeMille devoted all of his share of the profits to charity and the film was shown free of charge to the poor in over half the world. There's no record of what the elite critics contributed. Notes on the print; It is printed on Kodak SP 0031 stock and is sepia-toned the entire feature. There is scarcely any difference in the short 2-color tech resurrection scene spliced into the print and the sepia-tones of the entire feature. It is a fine grain original from nearly the original source material. No flickers or dupiness in this stunning print. Virtually splice free and no serious lines or signs of projection wear. Mounted on three 1,600-foot reels. No V.S. of course. 16mm Sound / Color -tinted sepia tone throughout /approximately 2 hours / Ex-L.N. shape..................$175. |

MARTIN THE COBBLER by Leo Tolstoy This marvelous clay-mation story features stunning photography and lighting, first rate sound and voice characterizations and a top flight music score. The story is from a Tolstoy tale narrated by his daughter, about a shoe cobbler living alone and bitter over the deaths of his wife and child many years earlier. He feels he has noting to look forward to as his skills are diminishing and he is bitter on religion until a wandering preacher (called "Pilgrim" in this story) comes to him for help repairing a bible. He suggests that Martin read it and says that he will be visited by the Lord the next day. Martin encounters several people the next day whom he shows kindness to without realizing he has turned into a good loving Christian in a Scrooge-like reformation. A marvelous tale done tastefully with masterful animation. Produced and directed by Will Vinton. Original music by Billy Scream and Paul Jameson. Animated by Barry Bruce, Don Merkt, Tom Samanen, and Will Vinton. Sets and characters by Dick ("don't call me Richie") Allen, Barry Bruce and K. Henrickson. 16mm Sound / Color / approx. 27 minutes / The print is virtually mint with beautiful color and high quality sound................$55. |

ON CHRISTMAS EVE
( Sheridan, 1983)
This animated cartoon is a parody of the familiar "Night Before Christmas" poem
with a wry twist to it. It seems Santa is too fat to get down the chimney to
deliver his toys to the children and can't find a way into the house. The window
is locked and so is the door. So, back on the roof again, Santa [pulls of a
"cinema" perspective gag that would do justice to Buster Keaton as he finds a
way to make himself smaller and thus, able to get down the chimney with care!

THE SNOWMAN |

TOYLAND ADVENTURES ( original title "A Toytown Tale" Van Bueren Studios (Jan 4, 1931) The setting is a toy store after hours. A rather primitively drawn stick figure mouse is exploring the various toys in the store. He looks rather coincidentally like Mickey Mouse (the allegedly owned property of Uncle Walt's company) He lets another mouse in that wears a ribbon bow around the neck so I guess it's his girl friend! (At least Minnie wore a dress once in a while!) Together they play with the various toys like a roller coaster. A prowling cat who looks like he hasn't eaten anything in months prowls after the mice and they engage toy soldiers to combat the menace. The mouse then sings "Good night Sweetheart" on a toy piano to her. Titles are generic so no way to tell what company released this cartoon, though Official Films may have been the original distributor of this cartoon on the home movie and rental markets. Thanks to Bruce Dodd for original title information! 16mm Sound / B & W /400-foot reel edition / used shape, few splices otherwise ok...........$25. |
