Long Lost Movie

[tmovies]

Does anyone know the proper procedure for tracking down an old movie that is not available for sale in its original, undubbed version? I'm desperate to find the movie So Little Time from 1952 (with Marius Goring), and the only version in existence anywhere is a German overdubbed one. I tried writing to the various people on German Amazon that were selling it, I tried writing to what I think is the company that sells the german dvd. I wrote to people that claimed to have taped it off broadcast tv, and to the pbs channels where they think they saw it. I even wrote to the bbc (its a british film). Does anyone anywhere have a method by which they get these ungettable flicks?

Welcome to the boards. I can't help you myself, but perhaps I can point you in the right direction.

 

There's web site in Britain http://britmovies.co.uk which has a large and very active online forum, much like this one. The people there are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. There are film enthusiasts from Europe and the U.S. on it too, If you ask your question there perhaps somebody can assist. Like the TCM boards, you will have to register to post, but it's free and painless. Good luck and let us know if how you make out.

Thanks so much. I'll try it, and if it comes to nothing, I'll by the german dub and lip-read, I guess. I've read good reviews about it.

There are subtitles for movies available over the internet. I don't know how they work, or how well they work. Maybe you can find someone who does. Search "subtitles for movies" (of course).
