This is a lot of four 16 mm, color, sound, films - SEE TITLES BELOW - they are all 1200' reels (30 minutes or so), I only watched the first couple of minutes of each to judge color and condition - so expect some splices, lines, wear, color fade or maybe missing parts....but no vinegar. These are all former rental prints - so they are well used and not in perfect condition. BUT they have a very low starting bid. And if you buy them and really love a certain one - I may have a better copy of it that I can sell to you, since I have multiple copies of all of these.....
