The three films you see are shot-for-shot reproductions of the compilation film INSTANT LIFE (1981). Each film in INSTANT LIFE (1981) was a remake of an earlier film also called INSTANT LIFE (1941). The earlier INSTANT LIFE (1941) was a single film, not a compilation. In 2017 we decided to recreate INSTANT LIFE (1981). We did not attempt to recreate INSTANT LIFE (1941) because that INSTANT LIFE is lost.
