Hey folks!

We were watching our low fade L.P.P. print of the 1942 classic, "Jungle Book" and the seller had left the images of the lady (the "lilly"), in between each reel (with the color chart) and I was admiring her looks ...

... and then, she blinked!

Yep it was a live action shot with the color chart, on actual film, instead of a snapshot with the color chart.

That was fascinating! I wonder as to how many films had this?

Is this on the count down leader?

Yup! I was fascinated by it, on that Jungle book print! I had never seen a "live action" "Lilly"!

I have a print of jungle book! I just never notice it!

Was it just one frame with an eye closed, I wonder?

Posted by Osi Osgood (Member # 424) on June 11, 2019, 11:38 AM:

No, it was a steady blink. The "Lilly" actually lasts for about 2 seconds on film, and is not just a few frames.

No steady blink on my print! Just a smile!
