RARE ARBUCKLE 35MM NITRATE FILM PRINTS REDISCOVERED | Cine Museum


"CineMuseum LLC has secured original 35mm nitrate positive film prints of Roscoe Arbuckle's A RECKLESS ROMEO (1917) and THE ROUGH HOUSE (1917) which features Buster Keaton! Both short subject comedies retain their original American titles and dialogue cards, making them unique and indispensable examples of these rare films. A RECKLESS ROMEO was considered a lost film until a lone print was identified within the holdings of the Norsk Filminstitutt in 1998. The discovery of this second print will allow for a new restoration and fresh appraisal of this transitional Arbuckle comedy.

Both prints suffer from nitrate decomposition but they shall be inspected, cleaned, repaired, transferred to 4K, digitally restored, and the original nitrate materials donated to a major archive for long term preservation.


A RECKLESS ROMEO and THE ROUGH HOUSE will ap
pear on CineMuseum's new ARBUCKLE ANTHOLOGY set due late next year!"

Arthur Askey TV series recovered | British Comedy Guide
  • All missing episodes of an Arthur Askey TV sitcom have been recovered
  • The 1960 comedy Arthur's Treasured Volumes consisted of six one-off plays
  • The episodes were missing believed wiped, but discovered within ITV's archive

"Five missing episodes of a television comedy starring Arthur Askey have been recovered.

Only one episode of Arthur's Treasured Volumes, produced by ITV broadcaster Associated Television (ATV), had previously been known to survive.

The additional episodes - completing the single, six-part series - were all located, unknown, within ITV's archives by archive television organisation Kaleidoscope researcher Tim Disney.

Tapes were regularly discarded or recorded over from the 1950s onwards, resulting in the loss of many programmes. They were considered unimportant ephemera in the early days of television, and in the era before VHS, DVDs or repeat channels, had no further value, so the expensive tapes were recycled.

Recoveries focus on off-air recordings made by early collectors and archivists; copies made for sale and broadcast overseas; occasional copies made - or 'borrowed' by cast and crew members; and - as appears to be the case here - mis-cataloguing within rights holders' often cavernous archives.

Written by Dave Freeman, the six episodes of Arthur's Treasured Volumes are individual sitcom plays. Each began with Askey's real daughter, Anthea Askey, taking a different book from a library shelf and beginning to read as the story begins.

The episodes see the Askeys receive regular support from the likes of noted bit-part player, character actor Sam Kydd; a pre-Steptoe Wilfrid Brambell; Arthur Mullard; June Whitfield; Geoffrey Palmer; and others."

"It was the boldest move in cinema history: presenting the most celebrated and respected actors of the day in a film that could only be described as pornographic. Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse magazine, set his sights on decimating the boundaries between art, sex, and cinema and succeeded to such a potent degree that even 40 years later, no theatrical event has come close to matching the scope and scandal of Caligula

Produced with twice the budget of Star Wars, Caligula captured an unbelievable 96 hours of footage of boldly costumed drama, sex, and violence on the most extravagant stages imaginable, and at an estimated cost of 17.5 million dollars remains the most expensive and extravagant pornographic film ever created

Originally envisioned as a historically accurate depiction of anarchy and corruption, the writer and director of the film (legendary author Gore Vidal, and counterculture icon Tinto Brass, respectively) ultimately distanced themselves from the production, having their names removed from the final product. The movie was ultimately released as a bastardized vision of the original creators, edited by Guccione himself, with extended pornographic sequences replacing important plot developments. Famed critic Roger Ebert described the film as "sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash" yet admitted in the same review that lines to see the film stretched around the block

Various edits of Caligula have surfaced over the years, each with only minor adjustments and brief bits of footage added from foreign releases

Amidst the drama and excessive litigation surrounding the completion of the film, the original 96 hours of raw footage were spirited out of Italy, and hastily placed in mismarked cans to hide their location. In the years that followed, the camera negatives and any unseen footage of Caligula was long believed lost, and the possibility of a coherent edit of the materials took on a mythical status among cinephiles

In the January/February 2020 issue of Penthouse, it was announced that the original materials had been located and that a restoration of the film to the original Gore Vidal script was underway by author and archivist Thomas Negovan and Shadow of the Vampire director E. Elias Merhige for a Fall 2020 limited theatrical release under the 40th anniversary title Caligula MMXX"

There's something fishy going on if that's supposed to be the same clip, if you pause each film as the train appears then run them simultaneously they feature totally different people doing different stuff.

You are correct

That does suggest that the 4K version is a 're-recording' rather than a 're-mastering'!
