                       Notes to the Financial Statements


The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1994 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of September 30, 1995 and the results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the statement of changes in
partners' capital for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Results of
operations for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1994, and no
material contingencies exist which would require disclosure in this interim
report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).



Part I, Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                  and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's principal source of funds is the proceeds received from
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation ("Fox") pursuant to the Distribution
Agreement, as defined in the Partnership's prospectus.  According to the terms
set forth in the Partnership Agreement, effective January 1993, the Partnership
receives proceeds from Fox on an annual basis.  Accordingly, all future cash
distributions from the Partnership's investment in the Joint Venture films will
be paid to limited partners on an annual basis.

The Partnership's cash balance at September 30, 1995 was approximately $363,000
compared to approximately $1,373,000 at December 31, 1994.  The $1,010,000
decrease is primarily the result of the payment of the 1994 cash distribution,
totaling approximately $792,000, the payment of the Partnership's 1994 annual
management fee and the payment of 1995 first, second and third quarter
Partnership expenses.  The Partnership's cash balance is expected to provide
sufficient liquidity to enable the Partnership to meet its expenses.

During the third quarter of 1993, the General Partner engaged an independent
audit firm to perform a distribution audit to ensure that the Partnership is
receiving its allocable share of the revenues generated by the Joint Venture
films.  The audit was completed during the second quarter of 1994 and the
results indicated that, overall, Fox properly allocated revenues to the
Partnership.  Nevertheless, it was determined that approximately $75,000 of
additional revenue was owed to the Partnership by Fox, of which approximately
$50,000 was received by the Partnership during 1994.  In accordance with a
settlement agreement between Fox and the Partnership executed in January 1995,
the Partnership received the remaining $25,000 on February 2, 1995.

The Partnership's receivable from Fox totaled approximately $1,855,000 at
September 30, 1995, as compared to approximately $1,375,000 at December 31,
1994.  The increase is primarily attributable to the Joint Venture's
recognition of revenues of $505,000 during the first nine months of 1995,
offset by the collection of $25,000 received from Fox on February 2, 1995, as
mentioned above.

Accrued management fees decreased from $200,000 at December 31, 1994, which
represents the entire 1994 management fee paid during the 1995 first quarter,
to $150,000 at September 30, 1995, which represents three-fourths of the 1995
management fee.

Distribution payable decreased from approximately $792,000 at December 31, 1994
to $0 at September 30, 1995, due to the payment of the 1994 annual cash
distribution during the first quarter of 1995.

Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership
reported net income of approximately $237,000 and $290,000, respectively, as
compared to net income of approximately $86,000 and $267,000 for the
corresponding periods in 1994.  The increase during the three-month period is
mainly due to the increase in revenues generated from motion picture
exploitation.  Motion picture profits are based on current estimates of
ultimate film revenues and costs.  These estimates are subject to review
periodically as more information about a film's distribution becomes available.
Such reviews can result in significant adjustments to prior estimates.  The
increase during the nine-month period is primarily due to an increase in
interest income and net revenues.

For the three months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership recognized
revenues from motion picture exploitation and amortization of motion picture
costs with respect to its investment in the released films of approximately
$309,000 and $10,000, respectively, as compared to approximately $165,000 and
$21,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the Partnership recognized revenues from motion picture
exploitation and amortization of motion picture costs with respect to its
investment in the released films of approximately $505,000 and $31,000,
respectively, as compared to approximately $572,000 and $108,000, respectively,
for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The increase in revenues from motion
picture exploitation in the three-month period is due to higher revenues from
home video and foreign syndicated television.  The decrease in revenues from
motion picture exploitation for the nine-month period is primarily attributable
t o the mature stage of the films.  The Partnership currently receives revenues
from the distribution of the films in ancillary markets.

Interest income increased from approximately $5,000 and $14,000 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1994, to approximately $6,000 and $26,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The increase is
primarily due to higher interest rates earned on the Partnership's cash
balance.

Professional fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
totaled approximately $7,000 and $26,000, respectively, compared to
approximately $3,000 and $24,000 for the same periods in 1994.  The increases
are due to increased legal expense for services rendered in connection with an
audit of the Joint Venture by the city of New York.  Total expenses incurred by
the Partnership during the first nine months of 1995 were relatively unchanged
from the corresponding period in 1994.
