@EricSchultz-zs8hz Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

@@ingrid-7777 Let's reconoitter. I think it's an old military term meaning to scope out the area to see where they are.

@unreeled8184 Ah, ok. Thank you. 👍✌️👋

@SuperCartoonist The footage is from a reel of assorted clips in the Czech Film Archive. It was screened at a convention in 1995, which I believe this camcorder footage may be from.

@@unreeled8184 So the footage reel is kept heavily locked up from being scanned?

@@malfattio2894 Thank you!

Thank you very much for sharing this info. I think I have 4 other speedboat racing videos from the same era on my channel if you are interested. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I will have to go look then! R12 was Howard, and C87 was Fuchslin. Seebold was world famous by time i was born and then racing in the 80s, 90's, 2k's and further.... lol. Fun fact about Seebold, after this, he later took Dick Ponds spot driving for Marshall Grant, the bass player for Johnny Cash. But Billy is pretty much my hero, over 900 wins in his racing career. Cant believe there are no youtube videos dedicated to his racing career like Muncy has.​@unreeled8184

Not sure. Heard several stories but i wonder why MGM never leased this film to television. Was MGM's vault copy already bad by the 1950s that they couldn't copy it? Or did they not think there was not enough interest in reshowing the operetta? The 1965 MGM vault fire May have destroyed their only copy. Tibbett's personal copy was also junked at some point due to deterioration. Another rumor mentioned a copy was sent to Germany in the 1960s. Lots of neglect along the way.

"America" didn't decide to "completely eliminate the film". America was never in charge of this film. MGM, a private studio, was in charge of it. Preserving old films is an expensive undertaking with special handling and special refrigerated, fire-supressing rooms required and MGM didn't always have the financial means to do that for every film it had ever made. In addition, the proper way to store these film wasn't fully understood until recent years. "Rogue Song" wasn't highly successful on its first release and there was little interest in seeing it again in the years afterward so no additional copies were made. Over time the originals decayed or got lost in fires. There are numerous lost Soviet and Russian films. Did you decide to eliminate those?

Ümumiyyətlə filmin orijinal versiyası məhv edilib. KZbin çıxmamışdan öncə. Yalnız kadrlar qalıb ki, bunu ərsəyə gətirə bililblər.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you. Yes, I wish more footage survived than what we have, especially the Laurel and Hardy stuff.

I also posted a short animation of the full Laurel and Hardy bee routine on my channel recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIiqinqieraMY7csi=66o1X6jmLKlKNTGS

The ballet sequence is indeed from the Rogue Song. The clip was discovered in 1998. variety.com/1998/film/news/lost-film-makes-scene-1117488378/

Very cool. Thanks a ton for the hard work, it was fun to watch.

Thank you. Still hoping there is an original copy out there somewhere.

@@unreeled8184 For sure...that and Lon Chaney in London After Midnight.

Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback. My apologies for the poor auto translations as I only speak english. I will take any suggestions you have into consideration when making updates. I still have the video files and can swap out the text in the future if I get better translations.

@@unreeled8184 Hi, thank you for the reply. Since I know both Italian and English, I could do better translations if you send me the video files.

Thank you. Great idea! I'll take a look this week to see what files I have available to send. Can you send me your email info and what type of editing program you use? Thanks!

I think it may be best just to give you the titles to translate, which I have listed below. I don't think there is a way to send you all the video files as it consists of too many files. If you can translate, I can update. If you want your name or KZbin channel name in the end credits for translating, I can add it. Thanks!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I spent so much time putting it together and rewatching it, that it is difficult for me to view it with a fresh pair of eyes. Good to hear it got some belly laughs.

@@unreeled8184 It is so good in fact that I watched it again just now and laughed just as much.

Great to hear. Thanks!
