[Frameworks] the fate of Em Gee...

[Jake B.]

Forgive an outsider and frequent lurker, but this thread is really compelling to me. As much as I've enjoyed extrapolating what Em Gee might have been to all of you, might anyone in-the-know post a brief history of what Em Gee really was for those of us on the outside? 

Thanks!

I do know that Murray's beautiful 35mm nitrate print of THE BIG STAKES ended up at the Library of Congress so I suspect that other nitrate prints ended up there as well.

Hi. I certainly don't have any knowledge but I'm hereby seconding Roger Beebe's inquiry as to the resolution and disposition of the lauded and mysterious Em Gee Film Library. I assume that the guy just retired or finally decided to shut the business down but very curious to hear any anecdotes or learn the fate of the collection. Any leads...
