A person very special to me has just passed away aged 87. Pearl Reddin had a very interesting life in her youth as her husband Tony Reddin was high up in Paramount. I have now discovered that Pearl herself was an actress and had 3 films (not famous at all) but I would love to be able to find them. She acted under the name of PEARL CAMERON. With the modern technology, is is possible to find these films and have them copied onto a video / dvd? The 3 films are : Hands Across The Ocean (1946), The Curse of the Wraydons (1946) and Mystery Junction (1951). I have found the 3rd one The Curse of the Wraydons and I can buy the video but it has an American format and I will have to get it converted into a European format. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any ideas or tips as to who I could contact to try and find the other 2 films (Hands Across The Ocean (1946) and Mystery Junction (1951). )or any details at all, as I would love to be able to see them for sentimental reasons. They were made in Britain and I think the distributor was Anglo-Amalgameted Ltd, and the producer was Merton Park Studios Ltd. Thanks in advance.

It might be cheaper to buy a multi-region DVD player than to pay for somebody to convert the American disc -- multiregion players can be quite cheap.
Although, I could transfer it for you, as could lots of people here I'm sure.

Most modern VCRs will play US NTSC format tapes.

Before the ban was lifted, I bought A Clockwork Orange - NTSC format.

On my Machine, supposedly capable of playing this format, only the picture displayed. There was no soundtrack. Playing it on one machine but running it through a second machine before the TV, the soundtrack played, but no picture.

Thanks for your help GREBMOOLB, I really appreciate it.

Here are details regarding the film "Hands Across the Ocean":

BFI | Film & TV Database | HANDS ACROSS THE OCEAN (1946)

From what I can see, only one of the 3 films is available which is "The Curse of the Wraydons" in an American Format and I have ordered this and when I get it I will try and get in converted to the Eurpoean format.

The other 2 obviously were never put on video. Shame as I would have loved to see them.

I´m not sure how to send you an email.

Thanks for all your help.
