This auction is for a lot of original 35mm movie reels from The Fly (1958).

The reels shown in the photos are the exact items you will receive if you are the winning bidder.

This lot consists of multiple original 35mm reels from the feature film. Each reel contains a different portion of the movie, and the reel lengths vary, meaning some reels contain more film footage than others.

Please note: These reels are in very poor condition. They exhibit severe deterioration, including faded red color, blurry images, vinegar syndrome, and other significant defects. Were it not for the historical importance and collectibility of this classic film, these reels would likely have been discarded.
