I probably mis-spelled that word on the title but here's the question.
I was screening a very ancient print of "Big Business" (Blackhawk print, really a top notch print, very sharp, great contrast), and I noticed something I hadn't seen before ...
There was a certian "browning to the image that would come and go. When examining the film itself, frame by frame, I noticed what I can only describe as little dots of "rust" (it was brownish or rust colored), some frames having more, some less.
What is this film deteriation called? It's on black and white film and I can't ever remember seeing this on color film.
Any info guys, (as I'm sure I will hear back on soon.)
