Footage Of Harry Greb!

[QueensburyRules]

A better chance is that it is lost in an extensive collection somewhere, (person or institution.)

Miss labeled or spliced onto the back end of another fight, in a property, but incompletely labeled film can.

They say today more archeological (new) discoveries are made via re-evaluations of exisiting artifacts found in museum archives, than come from new digs.

I think the 'film in the attic' dream becomes more and more a pipe dream as the decades pass by; not that being 'lost-in-plain-sight' is such a good thing either, but right now maybe that's where the search needs to go.

- - Sleuths had overturned most of Europe looking for Antonio Vivaldi manuscripts after he dropped off the earth at death in Vienna.

Many sleuths died unti half were discovered in a Italian Monastery having been donated by a patron who bought them at his death. They discovered the other half with his brother.

We're barely in 100 years of Greb looking now. Give 'em another 50yr before doing the postmortem.

OK I want to be positive . . . the monastery find is the type of successful find I am speaking of when I say in a 'collection' somewhere . . . Not laying by itself in a dusty attic.

More lost films (Hollywood slient era wise) have been found, lost in collections/archives than have been found stored (lost) individually.

I'm not writing it off I am suggesting that we are not looking in the right places.

I used to have a copy of that book Steve Compton wrote about Harry Greb. It was filled with pictures that I used to stare at, imaging them moving.

Lol... You make pages consecutively then fan them out walla! Moving images! . The Chinese had a book like this published for Tai Chi, you could fan the pages to see the short Yang Form... I think it was the great teacher Chen Mung ching.

I use that whole Gestault to be facitious. I don't honestly believe it... But it has a certain crazy probability. Depending on the situation I like to look at odds realistically: 1. The chance that my wife says "Honey you are right, I was wrong on that one" is as close as one can get to statistically impossible. 2. Winning a state lottery: probably a better chance of finding Greb film somewhere all things considered!

Or getting someone on the internet to say they were wrong and you were right. Which Ted Danson pointed out on an episode of The Good Place
