Finding Films RADAR MEN FROM THE MOON Part 22, by Noel Cronin Although we license a lot of films from major LIMITED EDITION T-SHIRT! studios, we also contact private film collectors to see what treasures they hold. Over the years I have EXCLUSIVE! built relationships with many private collectors and HANDMADE this month I’d like to introduce you to Phil Sheard. For Phil, the fascination with film started in 1962, BY US! when he was 11 years old and like many young lads, he was very interested in train spotting and monsters! On Saturdays, he scoured the stalls of Sheffield’s Tower Market for magazines such asFamous Monsters and Monster World. The back pages featured adverts for 8mm cine films, clips from horror films and science fiction, inspiring Phil to look for such films in the UK. He found companies selling little reels of film, running just 4 minutes, for less than £1! By 1970 Phil had discovered sound projectors, multi-reel features and the joys of cinema classics available on 8mm and 16mm cine film for home entertainment. In the days before videos and DVDs, cine film lit up the front rooms of many homes and could be hired or purchased from dozens of companies both in the UK and all over the world. Phil began with small reels of Donald Duck and Fireball XL5, later collecting complete cartoons, newsreels, trailers and even full length feature films. During the 1970s and 80s, availability grew with digests of top feature films being made by Fox, Columbia, MGM and other studios. Like many film collectors, he converted a room in his home into a mini cinema, fitting it with ex-cinema tip-up seats. Posters were displayed on the walls, old projectors stood GREAT GIFT on the shelves and later, on the internet, he found plaster castings and ornate lights to decorate his ‘pleasure palace’. He showed films most weekends, on a FOR FATHER’S large cinemascope screen with electric curtains and tabs, DAY! featuring shorts, like Tom and Jerry, comedies such as Laurel and Hardy, news reels and ads from the appropriate period plus a full length feature presentation, usually split into two EACH WITH FREE halves with a pleasant chat and a tea break. This full £15 programme is unique to film collecting even today. UK POSTAGE After 30 years of collecting films and film memorabilia, These exclusive bespoke t-shirts are hand made by us. They look great Phil started his own company and now buys and sells cine and help to support Talking Pictures TV! For a comfortable fit films all over the world. Films, posters, soundtracks and we recommend choosing one size up from your normal size.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2014
    Jan 14 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) gathered in New York to celebrate the Great Detective's 160th birthday during the long weekend from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19. The festivities began with the traditional ASH Wednesday dinner sponsored by The Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes at O'Casey's and continued with the Christopher Morley Walk led by Jim Cox and Dore Nash on Thursday morning, followed by the usual lunch at McSorley's. The Baker Street Irregulars' Distinguished Speaker at the Midtown Executive Club on Thursday evening was James O'Brien, author of THE SCIENTIFIC SHER- LOCK HOLMES: CRACKING THE CASE WITH SCIENCE & FORENSICS (2013); the title of his talk was "Reassessing Holmes the Scientist", and you will be able to read his paper in the next issue of The Baker Street Journal. The William Gillette Luncheon at Moran's was well attended, as always, and the Friends of Bogie's at Baker Street (Paul Singleton, Sarah Montague, and Andrew Joffe) entertained their audience with a tribute to an aged Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The luncheon also was the occasion for Al Gregory's presentation of the annual Jan Whimsey Award (named in memory of his wife Jan Stauber) honoring the most whimsical piece in The Serpentine Muse last year; the winners (Susan Rice and Mickey Fromkin) received certificates and shared a check for the Canonical sum of $221.17. And Otto Penzler's tradi- tional open house at the Mysterious Bookshop provided the usual opportuni- ties to browse and buy. The Irregulars and their guests gathered for the BSI annual dinner at the Yale Club, where John Linsenmeyer proposed the preprandial first toast to Marilyn Nathan as The Woman.

    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release May 1994 MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS June 24 - September 30, 1994 A retrospective celebrating the seventieth anniversary of Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer, the legendary Hollywood studio that defined screen glamour and elegance for the world, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on June 24, 1994. MGM 70 YEARS: REDISCOVERIES AND CLASSICS comprises 112 feature films produced by MGM from the 1920s to the present, including musicals, thrillers, comedies, and melodramas. On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991).
