Frankenstein (1931) Audio Preservation

However the black outs between scenes on that version were shorter than the 1991 tape so that may cause problems.

No problems about that - if for "black outs" you intend image gone black between fade outs/ins!

Yes.

Wow, now that's rare

[crissrudd4554]

Neat. Weird to see it say Realart Pictures Presents.

I'd like to make a recreation of that print for a future project...

[Lil Brutto]

Nice. I wonder how much it'll go for.

[SilverWook]

There's a zero feedback bidder involved, so it might get crazy.

Oh boy...that's very rare. It should be a print right off the surviving conformed to Code negative.

OMG !!! We really need some big bucks here if we want to get this. It already at $ 710.00. Unless there's another collector willing to let us scan his own print...

Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein are also available from this seller (although I don't know if SOF is good to get). Both Frank and BOF are good for us because of the mess ups fron Universal, but what about SOF ? Never watched this one, truth be told.

What's the next move ?

From catainsolo:
"Oh boy...that's very rare. It should be a print right off the surviving conformed to Code negative".

I think it's a print struck from a negative made in 1938. If my memory serves me right, Frank got cut officially during this 1938 second re-issue (not including the cuts made by local censors where the film was released over the years.
