SCRAPHEAP CINEMA
SURRENDER 1950
Originally slated for a normal release, I discovered that the 2nd reel of this picture had some irreparable problems. Sold to me as a print “in excellent condition,” actually it had some bad shrinkage issues and worst of all, around 40+ years ago someone had spilled what looks like coffee on the 2nd reel, damaging it permanently. This made image stabilization and sound acquisition nearly impossible in some areas. Although I was able to salvage the entire movie, sadly the last 10 minutes were so warped and damaged that the picture and sound fall to below my standards—so until I can find another copy of this film I have decided to just release it here for viewing.
