    Hi there,
    I wish to obtain a copy of “Brief Encounter” on 16mm. This was my first black and white films I saw in the UK when I arrived from Australia to work in 2003 and I was absolutely captivated.
    Do you know where I can still get a copy or if you are interested in selling me a copy?
    Warm Regards,
    Jeff Ooi

    Sorry Jeff I wish I could help you but I only have the one copy. Acquiring David Lean films on 16mm is very difficult. I acquired my cop many years ago when interest in David Lean was not so great . I can only suggest you check out Ebay on line. There are of course plenty of videos and dvds for sale.

    Best regards
    Ron
