And that's good. Nitrate film is really nasty stuff. I found some in an
abandoned theater and, having heard the stories, touched a match to a
piece. It burned in a flash, like gunpowder.
The stuff was responsible for numerous theater fires. The projection
room where I found my sample was lined with sheet metal. The windows for
the projectors had guillotine shutters with fusible links.
