Description Here then is a more detailed description of the condition.

Framegrabs are taken across the entire film not just from the first reel

Physical condition of the film stock. Excellent. No damage whatsoever.
Filmstock:  Agfa 4S Low Fade Polyester.
Soundtrack. Lacks presence at times.

I need to state first off that the two spools holding this print have been
adapted from large Reel to Reel Tape Reels with a 50ft cine spool
glued in the middle. They work perfectly (even though a little unsightly).
If using an 800ft take up spool, be careful as the film will fill it right to the
edge and could slip off. Ideally, use a larger take up than 800ft.
See photos of these spools at the very bottom of this advert.

Reel 1 (Over 800ft)
Adapted Reel Made From Audio Tape Reel
Original uncut leader
Occasionally the sound seems to lack presence and does not
appear to be as strong as it should be. It does however have
segments of more vibrancy. Marks appear on the extreme right
side of screen. 1 join in the middle of the spool (reel change) with
no lost footage. Original tail which has been cut and rejoined
with tape splice. No scratches and lovely colour.

Reel 2 (Over 800ft)
Adapted Reel Made From Audio Tape Reel
Original leader which has been rejoined with tape.
1 Join on Reel Change.
Thin green emulsion scratch for 3.5 seconds
as can be easily seen in one of the photos..
1 Join on Reel Change.
Base line on right which begins 4 minutes from end of film
and continues to the end. (See photos as it can be seen)
Sound is better than in Reel 1.
Marks appear on the extreme right side of screen as mentioned
above for reel 1. Please now read below for more about this.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
I have compiled video recordings of each Reel
to show the occcurence of the marks mentioned above.
They have been edited together with no divides and appear
to run as one continuous clip. Bear in mind then that everytime
the scene changes it is in actual fact a seperate isolated example
of the mark. They do however run in the order as found from the
beginning to the end of the reel. Please note that there are large
sections of film inbetween these marks where the film is unaffected
so please don\'t assume the quality is like this the whole way through.
I have merely highlighted these marks so there are no comebacks
from buyers stating they weren\'t aware of them.
After viewing them you might think they are not too bad and that
I was over emphasizing them but I prefer to be more than accurate
in all my listings so as to avoid misrepresenting anything.

  In a mythical land, woodcutter Jonathan (Bernard Miles) agrees not to chop down the oldest tree in the forest in return for three wishes granted by the Forest Queen. After he wastes two wishes bickering with his wife, the third brings them Tom (Russ Tamblyn), a thumb-sized child. The couple dote upon him, but are unable to protect him when, on his way to the village, the innocent Tom falls in with villainous Ivan (Terry-Thomas) and Tony (Peter Sellers).
Supplied on 2 x 800ft Adapted Spools In Plain White Card Boxes

International Buyers Note: The correct postage is already
listed for this item under the shipping details. Payment Payment must be made within 3 days of sale Ending or Buy It Now without exception. Shipping I will ONLY ship to a fixed physical address. Definitely NO PO Box addresses.

Finding shipping prices for all the countries who might buy this item is an impossibility.
As such, I have intentionally over-priced the cost so that I can refund any over-payment.
This makes it easier because if I accidentally under-price the postage, I just know
there will be that ONE buyer who tries to hold me to it and threaten me with
negative response if I tried telling him the postage was slightly more.

I do NOT make money out of you on the postage and I never will.

If you want an exact price then please email your location and I can tell you the correct
amount. If the item is an sale item, remember that the higher the price it sells for,
the higher the postage amount is going to be because it will incur costs to
insure it against loss or damage.

As a rough guide, usually additional insurance is around 5% of the total item value.
For example; a £200 item weighing 4KG to USA might cost £25.00 plus additional
insurance of £10.00 (5% of £200). Total price £35.00

All I can assure you of is that nobody else here in the UK can ship the same item
for less than I will charge you. They might be cheaper if they don\'t include
insurance but there is no way I would ever send anything uninsured.

If you have purchased a heavy item that is to be sent by courier, please give me your
phone number as it will be required by the shipping company. Terms of Sale I spend a great deal of time producing each advert and take pride in them.
Films are watched in their entirity and frame grabs are taken to help you make an informed decision.
I believe that I am honest in my descriptions but please remember, you are buying film not a DVD or Bluray. Film has imperfections and occasional marks due to wear. This has to be taken into account at all times. If a film is damaged, scratched or has missing footage I will mention it in the listing. Also if the colour or sound is poor. The frame grabs will always show poor colour if a film has poor colour and are not doctored in any way.
Equipment is thoroughly tested and deemed in perfect working order at the point of sale, if otherwise I will always mention it or not even list it at all.
There is always some element of risk when buying a piece of electrical equipment 40+ years old and I cannot guarantee it once purchased. I am sorry but I am not your local Argos outlet.

Returns are not accepted because you do not like an item. One buyer opened a case against me because she did not like a Popeye cartoon and I refused to refund her. A negative was left for me (subsequently removed by ) and she stated I was a Bad Seller. This kind of behaviour is beyond the realms of belief but some people will try to push the boundaries.

I have noticed some international buyers occasionally give a low DSR rating for postage costs which totally bewilders me because I charge exactly what it costs. I actually think they are rating it this way as if they are filling out an independent survey based on their opinion of postage costs. Yes, we all think costs could be lower but don\'t penalise sellers for charging you what it costs us. A low DSR for postal charges should only be given if a seller charges you MORE than it would cost to send. If you think postal charges are expensive then don\'t buy from me, it\'s that simple.

Please do not start asking questions after you have won or purchased
an item, especially about cheaper postage etc.
