It's possible it was 16mm; I know the Stanford has shown lapsed-copyright films in 16mm in the past (I saw a 16mm print of <B><I>the Sin of Harold Diddlebock</I></B> there several years back). Perhaps that's the situation this time as well.Brian Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693169310367670898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2531345904528580427.post-87665006726750420482008-06-18T12:23:00.000-07:002008-06-18T12:23:00.000-07:00CHARADE is a PD film.

Otherwise - the comments at the shows reflect what you say: that circulating prints were lost, not archive prints; that quite a few titles were in fact in circulation at the time; plus some suggestion that fewer prints were lost than had been thought - I hope that wasn't just wishful thinking...weepingsamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885871104310819374noreply@blogger.com
