bhryun Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Since "Tell It to the Marines" with Lon Chaney apparently exists in it's complete form, does anyone know if and when it will ever be released on video or DVD? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movieslover1000 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 As of now, I don't see it even in a rumors listing. I guess it depends somewhat on how well the Lon Chaney Collection sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansi4 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Drumshadow, the 1926 movie "Tell It to the Marines" has been restored to pristine condition with a new music score, a few years ago. It is Lon Chaney's favorite of all his films. The movie is currently being offered on Ebay with a starting bit of $17.99 on DVD. Mongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagman66 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Please note, You can get TELL IT TO THE MARINES (1926) with a great Robert Israel score, on DVD-R from me! Likely my program is superior to what's being offered on Ebay? Plus you will get another great free bonus feature along with it. This high quality program boast's a large and cool menu, with many thumbs and background stills. Please contact me direct for additional information. Hope to hear from you soon!

bhryun Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks everybody for your responses. However, I am not sure the DVD-R format would work in my machine. I had the unfortunate experience of purchasing a DVD-R on eBay and finding that my machine could not read it (I have a Panasonic VCR/DVD player). I was totally ignorant of the fact that there are different DVD formats. Luckily the person I purchased it from was willing to take it back. If anyone knows how I could get a copy of the movie in a format my machine could read, I'd be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagman66 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Drumshadow, Rest assured, I'm pretty sure my DVD-R's will read just fine on your player! I have had great luck with Pansonic being a compatible brand! It's not just the machine, but the format that the DVD-R is written in and the software used to write it, that matters here. Mine are mostly all DVD Medium MPEG 2, at custom compression and noise reduction settings! (NTSC broadcast standard.) My disc's are certain to play back on your machine if it is DVD-R/DVD-RW compatible! Plus be aware all blank media is not the same either, and can be a tricky investment! I use only name brand media! My recordings are very comparable to commercial quality DVD's! You will not be disappointed! Say, give me your mailing adrress, and I will send you a free sample disc! I know that they will work for you! I have a vast collection of great silent classics, many that are very hard to find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
