Does anyone know how I can

Does anyone know how I can get a copy of the 1938 Paramount movie "Arkansas Traveler"

It has an excellent shot of a ham shack of the era.

Fave CB Films

Hello All,

My fave of this lot would have to be the Cannonball movies and Smokey and the Bandit. They were very enjoyable and I might have to try and chase them down at the local video store to see if they are still around. It would be great to sit back, watch the flicks again and reminisce.

Regards,

Peter

Smoky clips

There were a number of clips from Smoky and The Bandit available for view on Youtube recently. Guess they are still on there.
