16MM TV SHOW “THE AMERICAN SPORTSMAN”, ABC NETWORK PRINT, COMMERCIALS
Item History & Price
This auction is for a 16MM film containing a complete one hour episode of the legendary ABC-TV outdoorsman show “The American Sportsman”, hosted by Curt Gowdy. This episode is from 1973 and following segments:
1) Grits Gresham and dog trainer Bert Carlson are in Washington State to see how Labrador Retrievers are trained, and then we see the results when the puppy is grown.
2) We see director Raymond St. Jacques and stuntman Max Clevin in the staging and filming of the chase ...scene for feature film “Book of Numbers”. Once the filming is done, we get to see the segment after it’s been edited and put together.
3) We join Jimmy Dean and members from the New Mexico Fish & Game Dept. as they head into the mountains to hunt, capture and tag a mountain lion.
This film is a wonderful ABC network print, which includes all the original commercials for Oldsmobile Wagon, Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco, Olds Delta 88 car, quarterback Bart Starr for the Yellow Pages, Alka Seltzer, Homelite XL-2 chainsaw, Bolens Mulching Mower, Fresh Orange Shaving Cream from Schick, Olds Cutlass Supreme, RCA XL-00 TV sets, Winchester Little Cigars, and Fireman’s Fund Insurance. There is also a promo for the New York Stock Exchange and a PSA for National Association of Insurance Agents, Inc.
The B&W picture is very good (see actual screen shots), the sound is strong, the film runs smoothly, and there is no vinegar smell. The commercials are in faded color (see actual screen shots). The film is complete with beginning titles and end credits. Total running time is approximately 58 minutes.
Thanks for looking at this great piece of television history .
