These are great..made me smile😊💖

The fact these exist are truly amazing.

In the olden days, if footage was not used in a film, it was either destroyed or erased so they could reuse the reel, because it was cheaper than storing unused film.

Google the BBC’s lost archives to find out more.

(Psst…film footage could not be erased & re-used like videotape, as with the BBC’s lost programs… However, it did cost money to “print” a filmed shot, i.e. get the negative developed and printed as a positive, especially with the sound added/synced. So their existence is indeed a big deal!)

Anyway, if you enjoy these, there are more!  You can find Warner Bros. blooper reels from 1936-1942 and 1946-47, at the Internet Archive, here: https://archive.org/details/Breakdowns_Blowups_1936-1947. They weren’t made for the public; they were screened at a yearly dinner for cast and crew.
