Hey,

I recently got an email for a reader asking me for advice on some rare early Shaw titles and I'm stumped on them and would appreciate any help.

I can't remember if Celestial's released any B&W Shaws. Possibly your...question person, already has this info, but maybe not. Good luck finding these on tape or disc.

Hello,

Maybe your friend should contact the Modern Chinese Cinema Society in Tokyo. See:

They seem to be selling the 1937 version:

If they can come across such a specimen, they probably have someone who could help your friend acquire the Shaw version.
