Some weeks ago I posted asking your suggestions for a Halloween screening in our small restaurant. Thanks to those of you who replied, but we soon learnt that the 31st fell in the middle of school half term and that we'd therfore be busy anyway, ergo a crowd-pulling theme night was reduntant. Instead, we decided that in mid November (apparently the dead zone for tourism where we are) we'd show a classic. I duly bought the wonderful "Casablanca". Tonight I watched the first half through and noticed, after about 30 minutes, a thin, red line running from top to bottom to the left of centre. It doesn't ruin the viewing, but will any film cleaner/restorer decrease it's effect? If so, which one? I've looked back at previous posts and, without stirring up a hornets nest of old arguments, am even willing to consider WD40, if it won't damage the film. I've not viewed the second half yet, but would be very grateful for your help providing there are no fights! Sam
