I bought the two Mountain films from Nigel on eBay. I gave him permission to open the 400ft sealed boxes to double check that the colour was good and acceptable. They arrived today.
1) She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, 1949. John Wayne 2) Mexican Hat Dance (The Girl Most Likely), 1958, Jane Powell
Item 1 is on Fuji stock and the outdoor scenes are most impressive with their blue skies.
Item 2 was a surprise. Taking the film from its box I could smell Agfa, and, sure enough, it's on fabulous Agfa stock. As you would expect, the colours are as fine as the day they were printed.
I would probably not have bought these films blind had not Osi drawn attention to the sale, and had not Forum member Nigel replied to say he would check the prints before posting.
Thank you, Osi.
Thanks also to Nigel for sending a part refund on the postage for the two films together.
