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 learning fast! and my training in electronics helps too!
Here is another item of commercial film stock, intended for the home market in the 1970's ~ 1980's
I always try to be extremely detailed in my descriptions and provide as much information as possible regarding the items I am offering, so here we go ...
COLUMBIA PICTURES HOME MOVIE - Super 8 Film
Man On The Flying Trapeze
Catalogue # FF4
Released by Columbia Pictures Home Movies
Black & White
Sound (Mono)
Run time: 8.5 minutes
I only watched this Black & White cartoon to check how it played but quite frankly didn't really understand what was going on! Strange cartoon, a guy puts a coin in the player piano and then what seems to be an unrelated scene/story unfolds, then it's back to the player piano again and another story unfolds - a bit strange for my taste!
COSMETIC CONDITION:
Good overall
Film stock and reel are undamaged, leader is fitted
Outer cardboard case is in good (minus) condition, a bit "tatty" from handling
NO names or other writing on the case
TESTING:
Because I was testing one of the projectors I will eventually be seeking a new home for (ROLLEI P840T), I ran this film through the projector ENTIRELY, from start to finish.
No film damage observed or heard when passing through the projector, nice smooth sailing through the film pathway on the test projector. Film is clear, clean and nice to view and the sound is without problems.
The picture is "good" and the sound was without problems
Now that I have played this film, I have sealed the complete package in clear plastic to maintain the condition until a new owner is found. It is being stored in a cool, dark, dry area.
