Seems like Kodak were the problem.

It seems even in 1950, when quality of product was far more important than today, there were already cost cutting exercises used in industry that had devastating irreversible effects!

Thank goodness for Martin Scorsese, albeit a little later than anyone would have liked!

Thanks for posting David, most interesting!

Thanks for posting David. Interesting. Now I have to build a freezer-room.

Osi has been on it for years apparently Mats.

No such worries for us here in the UK or Norway! Ha ha. Temperature is around 5 degrees celcius here in Manchester right now!

I think Vidar and myself are the only ones here that would allow a pink print to stay in the collection! We just love film! Don't mention 'pink' to David H....he detests them! ;-)

I have pink prints in my collection to. Some of my older treasures have turned and as long as I can´t find a better print, they will stay in my collection. As I bought them new, I can tell you that the colours were really beautiful for about 20 - 25 years.

Andrew. I live in Sweden. Today it´s about 0 celcius, but I don´t keep my films outdoors. I keep them cool in my home cinema appx 10 15 celcius.

Sorry Mats, make that three of us!

I have loads where the colour is beginning to shift. I have a couple that are totally red but will look to pass these on soon for next to nothing.

A great title is just that. If an Elvis or WDHM film is beginning to turn, then better that way than not at all!

That's my philosophy on such matters anyhow.

Mats, I just keep the central heating off while the wife is at work.
It's my own little way of aiding the preservation of celluloid, and helps to purchase more!
