One thing that definitely helps the old prints hold their Color is the Lab that was used to make them. Careful processing and proper storage can sometimes make for a pleasant surprise upon projection.

Hey what about my Columbia 7Th Voyage of Sinbad it still has good color. And it was made on non low stock. My Planet film was made by Red Fox that is why I posted it Winbert notice the name RED fox. I never new what stock they used?

Your absolutely correct Joe, especially with eastman film stock (non LPP). I finally recieved my 2X400ft print of "The Blues Brothers" (Universal 8) and the colors are surprisingly spot on, (except, curiously, for one scene). However, because of how it "slid" through the chemical baths, it has the slightest "browning" that comes and goes through the two reels which is probably due to the speed that it was going through those before-mentioned "baths".
