Note the error in the picture, that's shown on the cover of the "Catalina Islander".
ReplyDeleteWell, I think what you're talking about is this isn't a photo from the actual event. It's a mock-up. But as far as an "error" goes, there actually is one. To fit the image to the screen they stretched it, and it doing so, changed the film's proper aspect ratio. This makes it appear closer to 1:85 when Terror Island is more like 1:33. But it was projected correctly at the actual event. :)
DeleteOh, thanks John.
ReplyDeleteWell, I was actually thinking that the wording on the Title Card was incorrect.
In hindsight, I guess its just an alternate variation...but I was
thinking: Shouldn't the wording be "JESSE L. LASKY Presents" (as opposed to "Realart Pictures Presents")
Yeah, unfortunately, the only surviving print of Terror Island (the Library of Congress print) is from a Realart re-release, so all the original Lasky-Paramount title and dialogue cards have been changed. Another reason I wish we could locate another print!
