In his Museum at Yatton, Mr Stanley Jones-Frank has gathered together a unique collection of old cinema cameras and projectors. Movietone presents some of its archive film, which is over eighty years old. Much of this old Nitrate film is in danger of being lost because of decay. The cost of transferring this historically valuable film to safety stock would be astronomical.
