Wikipedia:- "Farewell Performance is a 1963 British crime film directed by Robert Tronson and starring David Kernan, Frederick Jaeger and Delphi Lawrence.[1] It is considered a lost film and is on the BFI National Archive's 75 Most Wanted List list of missing films.[2] It features musical interludes from Joe Meek acts like The Tornados and Heinz."

(Scuse rushed post only had 4 minutes in the library left....)

Hi Ray
a great find but I think its a 'scopitone' rather than from the main film?
If your not familiar a scopitone was an ancient 'video' jukebox.

History here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopitone

The problem with scopitone was that it was a small French company that could not afford to licence big artists, so consequently many of the films were of obscure artists and are often somewhat bizarre.
It was embraced by the French,British and Americans for a while in pubs and clubs but colour TV killed it.

Eccentric genius producer Joe Meek liked new technology so there are a fair few of his artists' films out there inclucing Screaming Lord Such doing jack the ripper.

One of the less bizarre French offerings.

For many years the films were not playable (when the machines got scrapped) on other 16mm equipment because the sound synchronisation was non standard.

[Richard Marple]

Very interesting I'd never heard of Scopitone before.

[Mark Tinkler]

There's also a Scopitone of The Tornados doing "Robot" which has done the rounds - i used in a TV show back in the 1980s... copy here www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO63v7jC2FU
That Heinz one is a new one on me though, whether a Scopitone or not.

[John Green]

Don't the French always tend to have their own form of video/Viewmaster/you name it rather than adopt a foreign standard?

I had not heard 'dreams come true' before either and thanks to Ray I can appreciate what a brilliantly produced record it was eh?
You can imagine the strings in Joe's bathroom LOL

Thanks for the list Alan!

Do we know if it's a Scopitone or part of the film?

[Alan Turrell]

Not sure Ray i do know of scorpitones that i can't seem to find on that list like Procol Harum "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" Dionne Warwick "Walk On By " The Exciters " Tell Him " as 3 examples.

The film was made in B/W whereas the Scopitones were all in colour.

This is possibly the only surviving performance of Eden Kane singing Forget me knot?

Made by Cinebox (De Lane Lea in London) a rival to the Scopitone



www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYcEwaGcojI


it looks like it was filmed off a scopitone screen?

BTW Eden Kane was Peter Sarsted's brother.

I've also spotted a gap in the list - Neil Sedaka also did one for Calendar Girl.

Was the Tornadoes performing Telstar a Scopitone?

If matrix-numbers,or whatever,were supplied,I'd be more inclined to have faith the the list.It didn't seem like a tremendous number of releases for the time it was around.How often would the shows be replaced?

The Tornados' Telstar Scopitone is the one intermixed with old rocket footage and was one of the most popular, probably because of the tune rather than the accompanying film?


Because Scopitones were not subject to television rules they could be risky and be something you would never see on American television.
Although I doubt this following clip would have had any problem in Europe?
