Selling, on behalf of a late friend collector's heir, Mel Brooks' Silent Movie on 3 * 1600ft spools, english intertitles.
I've not screened the film but I've checked on the rewind bench. It has excellent color and is printed on Fuji Low Fade 1985 acetate film, there are some light lines and I've counted some splices during all the film, but they don't seem to influence the screening (mainly during fade out/fade in).

Asking 150 euro plus tracked shipping through "Poste Italiane" (around 50 euro for Europe, exact price depending on the destination country and final weight of the parcel, roughly 5Kg).

Payment only through bank draft.

Sorry but, due to the fact that the film is not mine, no return or partial refunds will be available.
Unable to post pictures, but available for any clarification (reply as soon as I can as I check forum only once during the day)

After a check during projection of first minutes of each reel, I've noticed a lab print defect in reel two (a darker area that comes and go on the left of the picture - maximum dimension is shown enhanced in the picture below).

So, price reduced to 130 euro plus shipping.

First reel:

Second reel (with defect):

Third reel:
