Rough price estimate. The films I remember are (in no particular order):
* Feeding Frenzy (apx 20 mins)
* The Spy Film (apx 30 mins)
* Jack the Yak (apx 10 mins)
* Tug of War and other high school "activities" (30 mins??)
* Lieutenant Polumbo's murder mystery at UCLA (apx 30 mins)
* Murder in Vein (apx 30 mins)
* The Juggler (apx 15 mins)
* Reunion in San Francisco (30 mins???)
* Misc other stuff I can't think of (give it about 1 hour)
Assuming the values above, that's about 15,300 seconds of film. If a standard 8mm film runs at 36 feet/second (rate found on the internet; not verified) that's about 551,000 feet of film.
Times 20c ~ $1100.00.
Divide by 10 Olives...? Hmmm. Maybe a culling would be appropriate. But which ones to leave out?
By the way, who has the originals? ALL of them?
