The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie
Warner Brothers Print Library
5 Reels
Flat 1.85
Mono Sound

Print Number: 9700
Library Number: W1146630

Print Condition:

I just wanted to bring attention to you regarding the print of "Bugs Bunny & Road Runner Movie" that we recieved at our theater. This print should in NO WAY be used for exhibition, if I were Warner Brothers I would be embarrassed to have this print be shown to the public.

I have worked with films from the 50's that were in better shape than this thing! The print is filled with splices and broken sprocket holes, also there were many base side and emulsion side scratches covering almost the entire image. Poor condition would not come close to how this feature looked on screen. We chose not to show this movie after many film breaks and poor quality.

I can't believe they actually had this in their film library it should be destroyed! Our company will be contacting Warners about this, so hopefully they will listen.

If anyone recieves this print number you should contact Warner Brothers ASAP!

My rant is over....sorry

Ahh! The "good old days" of triacetate prints. [Frown]
