Movie Movie Trailer (1978) 35mm Film Print

35mm film print scan of a very rare trailer of the 1978 'double bill' affectionate spoof of 1930s boxing and musical films.


This film is a lost gem of the 1970s, rarely appearing, and even the trailer hardly exists; this is the first known Youtube upload - the trailer is not on the 2016 Bluray release, IMDb, nor on any other sites I've found.



Expertly directed by Stanley Donen, choreography by Michael Kidd, and exceptional performances from Harry Hamlin as the newbie boxer who has to raise a lot of money to get his sister's eyes fixed, George C. Scott, Art Carney, Trish Van Devere, Red Buttons, Eli Wallach and Barry Bostwick as the composer who gets his big Broadway break.


The original theatrical release had the boxing segment in black and white and the musical in colour. However all TV/Cable screenings (as rare as they were) showed both in colour.
The Bluray reverts back to the original format of B&W and colour.


This trailer print was scanned in 2021 on Retroscan Universal Mark II scanner, Although in good physical condition it had faded substantially, some restoration was undertaken, including reverting the boxing scenes to B&W.
