So, ya. This will be exciting to exactly one person in the world. I have dug through Film Daily for years looking for anything on Ralph Spence, I never thought I would find anything else. Three seconds of searching on a new online archive and this appears. Incredible. Spence was a "human insurance policy" because he took crappy movies, re-edited them, and then re-released them so the studios could make a profit. Typically he just added different words. He marketed himself as a "film doctor."

    This is a bit like Benjamin's Arcades Project, but on a much smaller scale. Intertitles, subtitles, books with images, and other monstrous hybrids.
