Hi There.

Purely by chance I happened to be googling my dad tonight and your post popped up.
yes I was was quite surprised as well, fates an amazing thing........oh sorry, you dont know who my dad is yet do you?

I'm Stephen Henson, my dad made the film you are looking for and you wont find a copy because they are almost impossible to get hold of.
It was all to do with the deals under which CFF films were made, reduced fees for crew and actors on the understanding that they would never be rescreened or shown on television.  Over the years the rights ownership has moved as companies merge or are bought over, the last time I investigated the rights were owned by Carlton International.

It was very difficult to track someone down to talk to, but eventually I was talking to the right person it appeared.  My dad made 3 films for the CFF when i was a boy, after proving who I was and handing over a not inconsiderable cheque they transferred copies to tape for me...............including Mauro!

This is not a site I will visit much, if you want to get in touch you can mail me on (*)

If you want my phone number mail me.

Regards
Stephen

To the moderator.

That seems a bit harsh, I have information that this member is looking for, joined the site simply to answer him and may never post again, please forward him/her my message.

Regards

Hi Stephen,

Sometimes 2, sometimes 3 posts are necessary to facilitate the PM (personal message)  facility.
Sorry if this seems a bit harsh, but it is an anti-spam measure.

If you post once more, then others will definitely be able to contact you by PM
http://www.rootschat.com/help/pms.php
and you can receive an e-mail that a PM has been sent to you.
