My husband has this film. He just unearthed it while cleaning the basement (yes, really.) When he was a kid, they had a subscription, and he says it was always exciting when the films came in.
Ideally, this should be in black & white because the color version of this movie was not only not available at the time, but there never was a color version from Ken Films. Also...this is too long for a "re-creation" because there was never any version of this longer than the 200 foot edition (about 8 or 9 minutes).
I have seen Ken films of 20th Century Fox & Paramount movies - presumably they must have had a contract with each studio to produce condensed versions of the films.
Apparently this was a version cut in the sixties and marketed to upscale families with kids. When my husband told me about this, I didn't believe him, but he just pulled out his copy of this film. He won't let me unreel it to see if it's color or B&W, but he tells me most of the reels were monochrome.

So "United Artists" 8mm was actually Ken Films?

Ken Films licensed out titles from several different studios.
