It is when you get into printing and enlarging that things get complicated. (dedicated work space).

I saw something interesting in a war movie last week: the Resistance took some photographs and developed the negatives. To make prints, they simply loaded the developed film back in the camera but left the back open. They shined a light through the negative, projecting the image onto the photo paper through the camera lens itself.

In other words, the camera was also the enlarger.

Anthropoid, about the Czech resistance to Nazi occupation. It's a very short scene. My father-in-law thought it was one of the best movies he's seen. I thought it was 3 stars out of 5.

Did the 2-hour length have anything to do with that rating? :)

My library has several copies, and it seems to be a very popular loan.
