For
any movie you cannot find commercially:
Note: These movies are NOT commercial
releases and have never, to my knowledge, been released commercially. The quality of sound and picture varies from great to not great at
all. BUT these are, to date, the best quality of these rare movies that I've found.

Welcome to

A
message from Cheryl: "I have thought about it for
a while and have finally come to a decision. I know that all of us will
miss Bruce and his generous nature in making sure that Cary movies stay
alive by ensuring that everyone who wanted copies could get them at a
reasonable price.
If anyone is interested, I will attempt to provide the same service, at
least for a while. I have all of the hard-to-find movies (on VHS
and DVD-R). I also have a wide variety of miscellaneous Cary
Grant bits and pieces. The cost is $12 for either one - which includes
postage."

Farewell
to Bruce Rudesill
July 27,
2005
|
|
Many
years ago, I was very blessed to discover Bruce,
A gentleman whose love of classic movies outshone my own.
As a service to those of us who desired long-lost Cary Grant
classics,
He was willing to share his collection;
Thrilled that these movies would live on,
And be enjoyed in private video libraries of movie lovers.
Bruce was my hero.
For years he
supplied so many of you with long lost films. Some of the people
I sent to him had deep sentimental attachments to the films they
were seeking. They would have paid anything just to get
their hands on a beloved, lost film. Bruce could have
fleeced them good. He never did. He charged barely
enough to cover the cost of the tape, envelope & postage.
Certainly not enough for the trouble it took him to locate the
film and copy it. Bruce told me many years ago that his
purpose was to get these old films out to as many collectors and
fans as possible. "The more hands these rare films are in,
the less chance there is that they'll be lost forever." It
was never about the money. He was practicing his own
brand of film preservation.
The world is a better place because Bruce
was here.

**A special note about "Room For One More." The 16mm film seems to have been owned at
one time by a television studio. Instead of smooth transitions between scenes, there are abrupt changes of scene where commercial breaks would have been inserted. The film is crystal
clear, the sound is clear and this is the most complete version of this film that I've ever found. But I do want you to know that it is in no way a commercial copy and that it does contain a few glitches.
