Apologies if this is not the place to post this, but I am hunting for a specific piece of old content that would be amazing to get hold of, and this thread (though mostly technical) seems to be the right place to ask. Sorry if this is too OT for the thread, but I couldn't see any more obvious place for it.
When I was going to the cinema in the early 80s (the Cannon Cinema, Tunbridge Wells, UK) there was a warning that would play somewhere in the pre-roll. It was a warning to be on your guard against thieves and it featured a snake and a really great old 80s style voiceover with lots of hissing. It began with a sinister warning "Beware... thieves are silent" and went on from there.
I have been searching high and low for it, including various YouTube collections of old cinema ads and public service films. I *think* this warning may also have played in the US as the voiceover was American. Thus far, I have had no luck in finding a copy of any quality.
So I'm posting here as much in hope as expectation. Does this warning ring a bell with anyone? Even better, does anyone have a copy of it that I could slot into Cinema Experience? Although it's only a small touch, it would make an epic difference to me.
