I want a copy of this movie i am obsessed with this clip . any one have a copy for sell?

[Pantages98382]

Altho there seems to be great interest in this movie, decent pre-print material seems elusive. This is the best quality clip I have seen on line. Archive.org claims to have the entire film, but it is impossible to watch - someone uploaded it in the wrong aspect ratio, so it is all stretched out and there is no focus. Altho I have a nice old 16mm print, I have no way to upload it or I would, but if I have one, there are others...and there is hope..  .

@Pantages98382

Yes your right, the quality is terrible, want to know the reason why? I ripped the movie but THE ARCHIVE wouldn't accept the original upload, so i converted it to 3GP, which is for mobiles, then re-converted it to another format so that the Website would allow the upload.  Neverless the movie was uploaded to share to people who want to see a glimpse of the movie, quite a few downloaded it. If anyone complains i suggest uploading your own copy huh?

[Pantages98382]

@BooppoopaDoop Too bad Archive is so picky I would like to upload my print - it is pristine - but don't have the equipment to record from film to video. I tried recording the preview trailer from Dead of Night (another rarity) from the screen with one of those "Flip" devices, but the result had such a flicker that I didn't want to put my name on it. Perhaps someday I will upgrade my equipment - I have other things I would like to share - I've collected for several decades.

@Pantages98382

I'm so sorry my last responce was so bitchy, its proberly becuse i checked the archive and everyone was complaining haha! nevermind. I was linked to this video by someone, who said check this video out, and then i checked ther archive and everyone was complaining.

I'f i ever get another chance, i will -re-rip the movie. Funny thing is that on Youtube you can watch uploads in HD, shame The Archive, isnt the same. Good luck to you <3

Helen Kane did a great job acting in Dangerous Nan McGrew

[hoss73ford1]

does anyone have this movie on DVD??

[TheWally243]

They're still stealing from artists today. But thanks for the legacy you left us Helen.

[LikaLaruku]

How the hell did she lose that lawsuit?

[Polydactylsaurus]

@LikaLaruku There was a sound bite from an artist named Baby Esther who used and baby-singing style before Helen Kane thus disproving that the "Boop Oop a Doop" was original to Helen Kane.

[TroyOi]

Oh, for the days when men were men and women were... errr, manlier men.

[ThePitofSidLord]

I fairly certain, like 90%, that I'm not exaggerating with this statement:

I think I'm in love with Helen Kane.

[Rickyrab]

Cool, a live-action Betty Boop, who woulda thunkit.

[RayPointer]

Actaully, Paramount "thunkit" when they encouraged Fleischer Studios to develop the BETTY BOOP character based on Helen Kane.

[zluvu4ever]

R.I.P. Helen Kane

[pillbox79]

Paramount modeled betty boop after Helen Kane but never gave her credit for it. Helen sued in 1932 but unfortunately lost.

[kohd99]

1934.

[RayPointer]

@pillbox79 actually the lawsuit was in 1934. And yes Paramount was behind the development of BETTY BOOP as a deliberate caricature of Helen Kane even though it was denied. A trade ad placed a picture of Helen Kane next to a drawing of an early BETTY BOOP that supports this. While Miss Kane had a case, she obviously lost.

[gracepapasrosacena]

i love it!!!!i love her voice so much!! its so unique

[theboop]

Hey Aaron~

Thanks for "fixing this up"!! good job!

~Ginger

[mharvill8674]

omg she is so adorable. i wish i coulda known her.

[smurfswacker]

What a great number! Funny, the character name was used the next year in an early Betty Boop cartoon, "The Bum Bandit." Not the song, though.

[Holland1935]

realy funny this is!!! still the feeling of the 20´s in it!! Thanks for showing.

[perfectjazz78]

I just love it.....I've seen all her musical movies and this song is Helen Kane's best. When she sings this she has great comedic timing.

[vanessaem]

It's nice to see the inspiration for Betty Boop, Ms. Helen Kane...Boop-boop-a-doop.
