And now for something completely different and original! A scan of an original piece of the colour 16mm film ‘Calamity June’.
The first thing I noticed was it was in colour, as the copy of ‘Calamity June’ I have is black and white! This was from a reel of offcuts and out-takes from Arthur Howell, provided to a contact of mine John*, who had hoped there would be enough to make his own version of the film, but sadly there wasn’t. At least there are some nice stills to share.
Arthur told John he had sold the 16mm colour originals of his films to George Harrison Marks, so who knows where they are today, but a 16mm copy, surfaced on Australian eBay a few years ago and went for about £5000!
