I don't know but I do recall my father buying up some out of date 8mm movie
film, colour by afar and the results were, shall we say interesting.
There seemed to be only two colours on it, red and green, Some blue was
evident but not much. It was as if the blue sensitivity was low or the red
green was high.

If the odds are that the film is viable then I'll probably use it - you
can get some interesting effects from out-of-date film though the oldest
I've used so far only goes back to 1980 and the results I've had with it
have been pretty good.

Can't help you on film that is *so* out of date, but you're right about
the effects of old film. IME decades-old B&W film gives really grainy
results that add a real classy feel to the images. I'm sure someone will
say you can do that with with Photoshop or whatever using one of the
filtering options, but I maintain it's inferior that way. In fact I was
so impressed I went out and bought some already-expired B&W Kodak Tmax
and popped it in the fridge about 8 years ago. In another four I'll bung
a reel or two of it in a vintage Nikon F2 with a yellow filter and go
take some stormy skies shots when the opportunity arises. I should say my
only experience of this is with B&W film; no idea what happens to old
colour film.
Anyone know if B&W film shooting on vintage cameras is enjoying a
comeback, like vinyl records have?
