Re: Maurice Zouary (1921 - 2010)
Most of Zouary's prints can be seen in LC's online catalog. The ones I've seen are 16mm Atlas TV prints in very rough shape. In addition, many of the two-reelers have been cut to 13 minutes to allow two shorts to be shown in a 30-minute time slot allowing for commecials. This was the case with the t...
