Re: [Videolib] Battleship Potemkin on 16mm
I have a good story about that Kino print. It showed at festival in Delaware some years ago that I was attending. There was a noted academic who had written about it that was presenting it. She was stunned to see the actual complete Odessa Steps scene which she had only scene in the infamously cut version. I could not believe there was a university professor who actually did not know what the scene was uncut. Also MANY years ago there was a discussion on videolib about a version put out by Republic that was indeed the awful edited version. Milos from Facets joined in ( as the copy had been bought from them) and said there must be some mistake no company would sell the evil edited version, then he went an viewed it and pulled it out of the catalogue since it was indeed edited but it was not a problem as the company White Star had lovely version through Corinth ( oh they probably have 16mm too).

Re: [Videolib] Battleship Potemkin on 16mm
I should check with Corinth...I bought 16mm prints of STRIKE!
