A film most people in our cine world know about with the various version available from Walton, We ourselves have the 4 x 400ft feature, slightly abridged,
Just before Christmas a 16mm full feature was pointed out to me by a fellow collector at CHC and i am very grateful to him to The price tag was £80, the colour is perfect, no fade at all, great condition, and this is the full theatrical version, no cuts at all, in fact i was surprised at how much more there is in this version, especially when Thomas Price, (Robert Culp), and Hannie Caulder, (Raquel Welch), are riding to Mexico to the gun maker Bailey, (Christopher Lee), in this sequence he is telling Hannie about him so when we get to the scene on the beech at Baileys house the audience know exactly who he is.
Anyway, here is the plot and some screen images which really do not do the actual bright and pin sharp image any credit, colours in these images are also a little muted thanks to the cheapie digi camera i use.
Hannie Caulder is a frontier wife, living with her husband at a horse station between towns in the American West. After a disastrous bank raid, the inept Clemens brother’s gang arrive at the station. They murder Caulder's husband, gang-rape her, burn down her house and leave her for dead. The brothers go on a crime spree, while Caulder recruits bounty hunter Thomas Price (Robert Culp) to help her get revenge by training her to be a gunfighter. The pair travel to Mexico to have gunsmith Bailey build her a specialised revolver, to be a fast draw specialist. When bandits surround the house, a gun battle erupts but Hannie is unable to kill a man face to face. Price recommends she give up her quest for revenge but she refuses, telling him to get out and that she was only using him and doesn't need him any more. He leaves, telling her she's a bad liar.
As he goes, Price sees the Clemens brothers arrive in town. His attempt to take down Frank goes awry, because Emmet throws a knife into Price's stomach in a very well filmed and edited sequence in slow motion & mortally wounding him. Hannie goes after them, killing Frank (Jack Elam) in a whorehouse. The two brothers swear revenge on her but she gets Rufus (Strother Martin) in a store when he tries to kill her. Hannie lures Emmett (Ernest Borgnine) to an old prison for a showdown and almost meets the same fate as Price but Emmett's attempt to throw a knife into her back is thwarted by the Preacher, (Steven Boyd in an uncredited role), who shoots it from his hand. Hannie kills Emmett face to face but realizes that Price was right: taking revenge will change her forever.

Great western ... have the 4x400’ full screen one myself

I've never actually seen this film, but from your description it sounds great. A lot of great actors in there, and a still good looking Diana Dors. That was a real bargain for a colour film of that quality. I'll bet a decent edited Walton print would cost that much or more.

well, i can tell you the last decent walton print which was sold as a walton test print sold for £130 and thats the abridged version, this one was 80 so as you say, a bargain, and full length to boot.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

16mm comes up trumps once again here with this one!

Fan- tas- tic!! 😊😊

Makes you wish for an acre of land, a converted barn and a hideaway to screen films as good as this in!!

well, i have to say i do need to stop now as i think i may have a buying bug, there's another two episodes of Minder on the way, but two for 80 inc post how could i say no? not to mention jagged edge, it gotten hold of me Andrew.

That's a good price Tom.

Tom I have to say in all honesty, the prints you've been displaying here of late are making me think twice!! 😁

No seriously though Tom, if I had the room, the money for THE ROOM you have and was twenty years younger, I'm sure by now already I'd be at least a dual gauge guy if not even a three or four gauge guy.

The bottom line is I have only what I have, it looks great and sounds great for the most part to my eyes and ears and I'm just happy to be ratcheting sprocket holes instead of updating pixels every second!

Stunning print and fabulous print quality Tom!!
Looking forward already to the next instalment in the Photiou household.😊

it certainly is Robert, and i am assured they have excellent colour and condition with no fade,
i know they are not feature films but i do like this old programme. A lot of my 16s so far have been spontaneous purchases, but because they tend to be one off's if you dont buy them you ,may never see them for sale again, i dont need to tell you long term collectors this though.

I'd be bankrupt inside of 6 months being a 16 or 35mm collector! 😁
Too much choice and far too many tempting desirable titles in between searching time. 😁😁

That's very true Tom; miss a title and it could be years before another comes along, if ever. I've been enjoying the repeats on ITV 4 in the afternoons.

i can understand that Andrew. My Brother told me off tonight, (in a friendly way), he reminded me that we are going to Blackpool in November, he also reminded me we have super 8 films we had for Christmas that we havnt watched yet, and also he still hasn't seen witness and we have yet to put dances with wolves through which we are doing Thursday. Hannie Caulder and Bugles in the afternoon were both films i didn't expect, as Robert said he hasn't seen bugles for sale on 16 before and to find Hannie Caulder in this condition was a real fluke,(thanks to a keen eyed forum friend on here).
i will put the brakes on now, or at least until the next 80s or 90s movie comes along
Would Beverly hills cop in scope, i think i could make an endless list here.

im averaging 2 or3 16mm prints a month tom, but nearing retirement and spending my money, nice hannie caulder

Thanks Clyde, sounds like your going to have some serious viewing time soon.
The prices, like super 8, can be astonishingly expensive but for the most part i am finding them much more affordable.

I thought I did well Clyde to get 11 features between March and December.

That is quite impressive Clyde, Mark
