No pictures, unfortunately - last night I was at my Witzend via Walton Film Prints. Both films had scriptwriters Dick Clement, Ian La Frenais First "To Russia with Elton" a 4 reeler which I bought as an ex-library print (if I remember correctly) from PM Films. Om Eastman film the first reel looked a bit brown at times, the second improved ans showed no signs of fading. Of course as much of this had stage lighting the colour balance was hard to judge. The original was 42 minutes long so very little was cut, if any. The second was "Porridge" the film version as a 2 reel extract on Fuji, a 1980 negative according to the leader (both films was released in 1979. The colour on this was much better than I expected with really good greens, red, and blues.
I'm sure I saw these two together on original release at the Classic Haymarket, so pairing them brought back memories of that. To top it off a couple of much earlier adverts (Derann advert reel 6) Len Lyle's Craven A animated cigarette advert and a Post office savings one "Rainbow Dance" live action and animation/posterization/false colour etc. Things that are easy with digital manipulation but really cutting edge then. Both originally in "Garsper Colour". :-)
