Andy Clyde was a Scottish born, American film and television actor who starred in short comedies between 1924 ~ 1956 in addition to his other activities in the industry spanning 45 years of his life. He passed away in 1967.
Synopsis (very brief):
Family relationship comedy ... Andy marries Tallulah (played by Vivian Oakland) but unfortunately Tallulah doesn't get on with Andy's orphaned grandson, Jimmy or his dog. Jimmy gets even with Tallulah ...
COSMETIC CONDITION:
USED
CLEAN
Very good
Film stock and the Light Blue reel (PLiO MAGIC made in USA) are undamaged, there is a White leader film.
Outer all cardboard two part case is in good condition, clean, no substantial structural damage or graphic damage and no personal writing.
NO writing on the reel and just the front cover mono colour graphics (Blue) which looks pretty generic with a small rectangular metallic label identifying the title and catalogue number. There is also a side label which looks to have been added by the owner.
TESTING:
Test projector is the ELMO 1200 that I have on hand at the moment.
Film looks to be clean and in good condition, sprocket holes are not damaged.
I only ran the film for the first couple of minutes or so to observe the picture and sound.
The picture is really good, contrast is fine.
Sound is good and clean, easy to understand the dialogue
In my opinion, after this very brief test, I am happy that the film is as stated on the box and that the film stock appears to be in pretty good shape.
Anyway, I am very fastidious and careful with these films (I am afterall doing this on behalf of another person) and I have now packed it back into the original cardboard outer box AND sealed the film within clear plastic - waiting for a Super 8 film enthusiast to "enjoy"!
