Hi guys!

I recently started to build a serious RLC collection and like many before I couldn't find "26 Summer Street" anywhere.

I then planned to write a Wikipedia article if I could find a way to see the movie. So I wrote to a guy from Rent The Sky Films and today I got the answer. In short:

26 Summer Street full (Be aware that this site won't be online for long).

I thought if anybody should be able to use this link while it exists its you. Am I right?

Looks like the fans get a present too at the 30. birthday of Rachael Leigh Cook.

Greetings,
bened

Oh wow, thank you so much! Have never seen this one before. And i actually didn't believe it anymore that i ever would! Great find! I really appreciate it!! Thanks alot!

Wow, this is fantastic! (We had only seen clips before) Thank you, bened.

Wow! I am amazed that they posted the short online, finally. I never expected that! Thanks for sharing with the gang, bened!

I'm glad you all got to load the video. Hopefully it stays online for a long time.

Ok, now the hard part: I'm writing on the plot for the Wikipedia article. I'm not a native english speaker, so it really needs improvement before I dare to upload it. Could you help with the language? Here's what I have right now:
----
A doctor is called to tend to an ailing infant in an apartment in 26 Summer Street, which is in the poorer part of the town. He is welcomed by the infant's older sister who tells him right at the door that it looks to her like the infant will die soon. Her mother is not home. The doctor first hesitates to come in. While he examens the baby he notices that the girl scratches her legs. He gives her advice what to do to help her legs and acne. The doctor swaddles the baby and gives her back to her sister. She asks if the baby is going to die. He denies and leaves with the excuse that he would have to visit other patients in the nighbourhood and instructs the girl to tell her mother that he would be back at 6 pm. She wants to come with him but he overplays the offer with a joke. Before he goes she asks him why he would lie to her--he wouldn't have another place to go to around the neighbourhood. He just smiles and leaves.

He sits down on the stairs in front of the house. Later he hears her coming down. When she sees him she goes right back. He writes down his thoughts about the girl (under the title "The Girl with the Pimpy Face"): "Boy, she was tough and no kidding but I fell for her immediately. There was that hard, straight thing about her that in itself gives an impression of excellence." She comes down again, this time with the infant and askes if he planes to sit there till six. She gives him her sister. After holding her for a while he is surprised and uses his stethoscope on her. He looks worried. He gives the baby back and leaves to buy soap for the girl. His thoughts reveal that he knows that the baby is going to die in about 6 months because she has a bad hearth.

I found it hard to tell the story through text because the way the story is told in the movie is rather complex (more than I thought after I watched it the first time) and the short story on which it is based is written crazy as hell too. It's really the question what the right balance is between telling too much details that are boring in a text and not writing down enough of them so the story gets lost. It seems as if anything in this movie is happening through subtile side comments. So any suggestions and help would be nice.

I worked on it some more and asked some friends for help. Here's the version I'm going to use:
----
A doctor is called to look after an ailing infant in an apartment in 26 Summer Street, which is in a poorer area of the town. He is welcomed by the infant's elder sister who tells him right at the door that it looks to her like the infant will die soon. Her mother is not home. While he examines the baby, he notices that the girl scratches her legs. He gives her advice what to do to help her legs and cure her acne. The doctor diapers the baby and gives her back to her sister. She asks if the baby is going to die. He says no and leaves with the excuse that he would have to visit other patients in the neighborhood and instructs the girl to tell her mother that he would be back at 6 pm. She wants to come with him, but he passes over the offer with a joke. Before he goes she asks him why he would lie to her--he wouldn't have another place to go to around the neighborhood. He just smiles and leaves.

He sits down on the stairs in front of the house and writes down his thoughts about the girl (under the title "The Girl with the Pimpy Face"): "Boy, she was tough and no kidding but I fell for her immediately. There was that hard, straight thing about her that in itself gives an impression of excellence." The girl comes down the stairs with the infant in her arms and asks if he plans to sit there till six. She gives him her sister. After holding her for a while, he is surprised and uses his stethoscope on her. He looks worried. He gives the baby back and leaves to buy soap for the girl. His thoughts reveal that he knows that the baby has maybe 6 months to live because she has a bad heart.

Good enough I hope.

Looks really good to me! My english isnt very good though so i wouldnt have been a great help at all And Sorry for the few responses, its very silent here recently.

But i am really happy to see a new fan who even writes wikipedia articles about Rachael!! Thats cool! Did you write more already?

That's really good, bened!

I would say "A doctor is called to treat an ailing infant". 'Look after' is what the sister or a babysitter would do: watching or taking care of the baby.

"He gives her advice on what to do to help with her legs and cure her acne."

"He says no and leaves with the excuse that he has to visit other patients in the neighborhood and instructs the girl to tell her mother that he will be back at 6 pm. She wants to come with him, but he passes over the offer with a joke. Before he goes she asks him why he is lying to her--he doesn't have another place around the neighborhood to go to."

Yea, not enough RLC material to discuss, I guess.

Wikipedia articles? No, that's going to be my first. Wikipedia articles helped me a lot when I tried to find all RLC movies and to get more information about them. Now I realize that I also could have used the IMDB, but I'm not as familiar with the noisy IMDB style.

That's why I'd like to get all the red or black movies in the Wikipedia RLC-filmography blue. 26 Summer Street is definitly a good start.

@Quel: Thanks for your corrections.

Now I'll finish a first version of the article and upload it.

And there it is. Finally

Looks really good. Great work! Maybe you can write more. There are still some red rlc movie-links on wikipedia.

Definitely a great job, bened.

Fantastic!

So great to see this surface! Thanks for the link (I'm downloading as I type this).
