A good reel, I have a copy. Fun seeing cigarettes advertised in Gasparcolor. It was mentioned in reviews at the time. More information about the process here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasparcolor

The colour is outstanding considering its 1936, great to see the ciggys marching, very similar to the hammers marching in the Pink Floyd video for Another brick in the wall. I personally think this must have been pink Floyds influence.

Thats usually my luck to Jonathan, i am only selling this one as my Brother also has a copy, we are,(over many months) amalgamating our two collections and moving any doubles or faded/fading films on now.

No, it was Len Lye. George Pal did use the system though. It seems to be a dye destruction system like Cibachrome so gave very stable prints.
