HISTORY:
My "world" is 'the arts' and more specifically, music, artwork and hand crafted/decorated chinaware's.
I am not a film enthusiast but an associate has asked me to find new owners for THEIR large collection of photographic and film items ... this is one of those items.
While the world of 8mm/Super 8mm is not my area of expertise, I am doing my best to establish the condition of each item that I am listing.
I tend to be quite detailed in my item descriptions, please READ all the details to decide if this item may interest you.
Now, on with the description ...
20TH CENTURY FOX - Super 8 Film
Produced in USA
Colour
Sound
Title: The Adventure Of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother
Catalogue # F-57
Released 1975
7" PLiO MAGIC (USA) Blue plastic reel
Content description
Slapstick comedy featuring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Dom De Luise and Madeline Kahn
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
Film stock and reel are undamaged, leader is fitted and undamaged.
Outer case is a formed styrofoam with a hinge on one side.
There is no damage to the case or it's hinge nor the outer clear plastic cover.
Slight vinegar odour from the film, I am told this is normal however it could also be the sign of trouble - I will tell more once the film has been tested
I have given the case (inside and out) a "sterilisation spray", I always do this with "old" items.
NO personal names or other writing on the case or label
TESTING:
Tested with the ELMO ST 1200 I have available, and away we go ....
I have around 2 minutes off the reel for testing
Leader is pretty short but functional (just 30cm or so)
Colour film and this does show "Red shift" but I must say that the Red is not as dominant as I have seen in the other films I have tested. I can still see Yellows, Greens etc but not a lot of Blue.
Sound is good, crisp and clear so I had no trouble following what was going on.
I am very fastidious and careful with these Super 8 films and I have now packed the film package within sealed, clear plastic while it awaits a new owner
