Ida Lupino , Robert Preston, Steve McQueen.

Great Cinematography by Lucien Ballard. Sam Pekinpah Directed.

Good colour Scope Print on 3 Spools. Requires anamorphic lens.

£49.00

The print is in anamorphic scope and is thick base Agfa 1S colour stock. The
damaged perforations were caused by someone running the opening titles
with a projector set in reverse (!) tugging at the edges of the perforations
and weakening them.

When I purchased this print from Derann in 2006 (cost £88.49)
described it as having "reverse pulled perforations" but running OK on their
projector. The perforation holes are intact but have cracks in the direction
away from normal projecting in forward.

I repaired and reinforced all the weakened perfs with CIR tape in 2006
before first running the print, and these repairs had got much stronger when
I ran the print in 2008 with 'no problems with wrung perfs'. from my notes.
I remember the repaired start run OK through the projector but with some
picture frame line unsteadyness noted at start.

~SOLD~(29/10/2010)

    £55.00

PRINT CONDITION:

The film is printed throughout on Kodak Safety Positive dated 1954. Released
as "Wall of Death" by Modern Sound Pictures of Omaha Nebraska USA. The print
leaders and release title are all marked up as Modern Sound Pictures, not a
TV print. Sound is OK throughout, in close synch. no distortion.

First 800' ft. is printed slightly dark but with sharp detail, thereafter
the whole film has excellent contrast and theatrical density with nice shadow
detail. It has a 'film noir' look, and is Nettlefold Studios, and Butchers
Film Service - Lithuanian actor Laurence Harvey's accent, (when he has to act
angry or say more than three sentences strung together), comes across
almost as thick as Maxwell Reed's eyebrows!

There is one jump cut in reel one. Could be USA censor cut? There are
emulsion wear lines at times at the edges of the picture. Scenes end at fade
out and with all the cue dots present. Reel two runs complete to the end
with all end titles and music to fade.

~ KODACHROME PRINT ~

~ KAY KENDAL - KENNETH MORE - DINAH SHERIDAN - JOHN GREGSON ~

Used Condition - Excellent Colour (like IB Tech)

~ Original ~

Complete with Larry Adler's memorable harmonica musical score. Kenneth More plays an advertising agent who rides an ancient barrel-bonneted Dutch Spyker in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Rally. His intentions where women are concerned are far from honourable. He believes in taking a different girl with him on every week-end trip. On this occasion his companion is a model, played by Kay Kendal. Ambrose also has a friend, a young barrister played by John Gregson, who goes to Brighton with his wife Dinah Sheridan in "Genevieve," a 12 horsepower Darracq made in Paris in 1904. All four get to Brighton, but quarrel, the outcome being a 100 pound wager as to which of them can drive back to Westminster Bridge first. John Gregson drove for the film from London to Brighton and back without a full driving license. He took lessons, but there wasn't time to pass his test before filming began. In all, he did about 100 miles at the wheel, with the police turning a blind eye. Film condition is very good with great non-fade Kodachrome colour and sharpness (original was filmed in Technicolor) Sharp grey track optical sound in close synch throughout. There are no pulled perforations. Some wear lines and joins visible when projected. Comes on two full 1600' ft reels .

A great opportunity to acquire a print of this much sought-after classic with great unfaded colour, strong undistorted sound and steady picture.
