Is that the whole film? That's very interesting.
Six reels that are a 180 meters each.
How long does that make this print? in terms of minutes or hours?
Does not since it is completely faded to brown and probably has italian subtitles or language track. Also the shipping from Italy would be insanely expensive.
English is not the seller's first language and it would be hard to find much about this print out, Also not pictures of what the footage on the real actually looks like.
I will not bid on this. But if i was the guy doing so i would definitely pass this up unless you are a collector of oddities, rarerities or just have to have every copy of star wars ever released. Other than that i would wait for a derann scope 6 reel anamorphic print to show up for sale if i was a person who had an 8mm projector and that was how i watched my movies.
Obviously the 16mm Prints that Puggo has are better than 8mm. and 16mm is the happy medium for home cinema people to scan themselves with a workprinter as 35mm is just not viable at this point. Although 35mm Prints are the best quality you can get unless somehow a 70mm print that is unfaded is still out there, yeah right.

It was probably the whole movie. But the fading was a sticking point. The seller ought to have posted a screencap or two like others have in the past.
The Italian track would have been an interesting curiosity though.
Derann doesn't seem to have ever made a six reel version. A copy of the four reel anamorphic is in the hands of "top men". It's unfaded and beautiful. The 600ft. reels are too big to fit on a workprinter though. :(
Where were you in '77?
Whoa, I bet this Italian version has the scene with Luke missing on his first try with the grappling hook. This very well may be what we "big foot hunters" of SW fandom have been spending all these years looking for! ,')
