"Murder on the screen" - 1958

This beautiful and hilarious historic "film noir" originates from the Internet Archive. It is a classic detective style "murder" case where the investigator tries to determine the guilty one for the murder "on the screen", the death of a badly handled roll of film... Four suspects are interrogated, from the lab technician who developed the film up to the projectionist who did the final handling, all of whom claim to be innocent and claim to have treated the film with utmost care, in the process teaching the viewer how to properly handle cinematic film. It is an Eastman Kodak instructional film cast in the form of a true movie... a brilliant, unusual and beautifully ironic way of educating the workforce. Enjoy!
