Oh if only they had sound! Thank you for giving these for free.

@SleepingAncient You are most welcome! Actually these are time coded window dubs from the telecine masters...

Please take a look at our channel page-

soapbxprod

hundreds of clips and most of our feature documentaries are there.

we're trying to raise funds to produce a feature length documentary showcasing Roddy's footage- There is a 7 minute "rough" assembly made from it and interviews with him and Kirk Douglas- the title is:

Hollywood 1965

Thanks for watching!

soapbxprod This is amazing stuff ! Shows such a gentler time. I love the woman at the beginning with the gogo boots and bikini. Did'nt poor Roddy die of throat cancer? tragic really. Thanks so much for posting !

@MrDennisatthebeach Thank you for your lovely compliment! The woman at the head of the clip is Tammy Grimes, a dear friend of Roddy's- she was very famous! Actually Roddy died of lung cancer...

I meant to say was people want to EVIL things and most of those people who disrespect rock hudson also do the same to OBAMA conservatives hate HOLLYWOOD more then even WASHINGTON or WALL STREET call the anti-hollywood moreFAR RIGHT ugly ducklings

@Underdog123 Must fight the desire to generalize! Got to take each person one at a time- too easy to say "All Liberals", "All Conservatives"... like saying "All Blacks" or "All Whites"...

@Underdog123 I'm not sure what you are saying exactly, but I love Rock Hudson too! And so does Doris Day. That's good enough for ME! :)

hey I like rock hudson a legend In deed live on labor day but dead OCTOBER 2nd sad when he dies sadder where he from like me CHICAGO lost the olympics 24 years after and EVIL TEA PARTY celebrates because he was homosexual and died of AIDS no mystery about his death but some have no respect for he lived I view as a devasating but nothing to change what happened.

@Pattyplace1 Home movies with sound were an difficult and expensive proposition in 1965. Even for Hollywood stars. The only single system (no separate tape recorder) 16mm cameras were the Auricon or the Frezzolini, with either an optical track burner or mag head inside (you needed special mag striped film for that) and they cost a small fortune. Remember that movie cameras are mechanical. They make noise, so they have to be specially built not to...

@Pattyplace1 Correct. Though it baffles the mind, what we call "silent movies" often involves a lack of sound.
