This was a special program put on the the HFA's preservationist. She selected five individual reels from prints in the collection that had faded considerably, leaving only the more resistant red dye. Films screened included

  • Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple - Hiroshi Inagaki (1955)
  • Two Rode Together - John Ford (1961)
  • "Afro-Asian Table Tennis" - A Chinese propaganda film from 1971. (They sure spent a lot of time praising the Vietnamese players...)
  • Peeping Tom - Michael Powell (1960)
Screened at the Harvard Film Archive
