Errol Flynn's Cuban Rebel Girls:
Flynn always wanted to make his own movie. He was fascinated
with Castro's revolution, so went to Cuba with his 16 year old girlfriend
Beverly Addland and made this gem. Fortunately for him, he died shortly
thereafter and didn't see it bomb at the box office. Very bad acting,
directing and producing. A must see for a Flynn fan or a masochist.
Well, Castro won, didn't he? $10.00
ERROL FLYNN THE BIG BOODLE 1957:
Errol Flynn in The Big Boodle or Night In Havanna. Flynn is in trouble
from the beginning of this fast paced thriller mystery. Flynn plays
a croupier in a pre-Castro Havanna gambling casino. He is handed counterfeit
money and then suspected of knowing where the bogus plates are located
and of being involved with the counterfeiters. To free himself of blame,
he pursues the mystery and the chase begins. Some good scenes of pre
revolution Havanna. A good Flynn movie. Why has it been collecting dust
all these years? 83 minutes b/w SP VHS 1957. $10.00
Chained For Life:
Did you see Freaks 1932? Remember the Hilton sisters siamese twins?
Well, they are the stars of this obscure gem, Chained For Life 1950.
It probably never made it to your local theatre and you probably havn't
even seen it on late night TV. One goes on trial for murder, what is
to happen to the other? Heavy stuff. Don't go to your grave without
seeing this one. $10.00

Niagara Falls Collapse 1954:
This is the only motion picture in existence of this dramatic event
witnessed by only a few thousand people on July 28, 1954. Pittsburgh
Press July 29th: "A policeman found cracks in the rock adjacent to an
iron rail running along the lip of Prospect Point. Workmen sent to study
the danger signs were ordered to leave the area at 4:45 pm. Within 15
minutes, a 70 foot wide portion of the point crumbled. A few minutes
later 130 feet more of the point crumbled into the gorge. In all an
estimated 185,000 tons of rock and earth collapsed yesterday." Included
in this footage is a shot of the men measuring the crack shortly before
the collapse. Some other movies of Niagara Falls trips included: 1947,
49, 54. Actual time of collapse footage is only about three minutes.
Total time of tape 30 minutes. Quality is low grade but viewable. These
silent amateur movies were taken by my late uncle. We have transfered
this footage to SP VHS video from the original 8 mm so that all lovers
of Niagara Falls can enjoy. This footage is being offered to the public
for the first time. $10.00

If you liked Disney's version and havn't seen this one,

spoofing Sherlock Holmes. 2 hours SP VHS. $10.00
