Good luck. I've been bupming around here, 35mm forum, 16mm films and Big Reel for a few years searching for a 35 print of this.So has a friend of mine, for many more years than myself.

He came across one but it was in an extremely expensive package with projectors and a few other 80's unknown prints. They wouldn't sell it seperately.

I did, however, recently score a 16mm print!!!!! YAY ME!!

Anyway, if you find one let me know. Neither 20th Century Fox or Criterion films has one to rent anymore. There is rumored to be a 25mm print at Fox in Canada but they won't ship it to the US.
One is usually sought after to show at Rocky Horror conventions.

How's the color on your 16mm print? i had an oppurtinity to buy it on 16 several months back, but declined. The seller was like in Austraila or Canada and didn't seem too bright,,, I asked about color, he would only tell me that it said "technicolor" in the credits. Not worth the cost of shipping.

There are many theatres that want to play this film<i'm not associtated with them or a cast>. It's about time that Fox made some new prints, there is a demand.
Maybe someone should start a petition.

The colour is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!! It only has 3 very small jumps, barely noticable. Not much wear either!! I was VERY satisfied with it, especially for the price I got it for. (I got it and a print of Rocky Horror for $435 shipped from New Zealand!)
