I have some undeveloped colour and black and white 127 cartridges from
1967 wonder if they can be developed ?


Where have they been stored ?. If they had been in a deep freeze
in a sealed dry box then they might be ok, else try this place -

up in lofts so hot and cold for decades...don't think I will
bother...thought 127 was a cartridge??/


Give it a go - you might be pleasantly surprised! IME *old* B&W film
once developed comes out very grainy, as if the speed rating were much
higher than it actually was. This can give the old shots a really
atmospheric feel.
Aside from that, if they don't come out at all, the photolab will
normally not print from them or charge you anything, either.
