Re: EX-PLUMBER (1931) Lloyd Hamilton, Addie McPhail

Atlas Prints can be complete, but that seems to have been the way some TV stations were running them. The later Zouary prints are the ones that are complete and have their original opening and closi...

Re: Her Friend The Bandit

Re: Her Friend The Bandit

Heck, there are a bunch of idiots on Youtube who think that Billy West's HIS DAY OUT is HER FRIEND THE BANDIT right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgm6gioaWss You're asking us to second guess someone's mistake from sixty years ago, and what does it matter? Whatever they showed, it wasn't HER F...
