Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

That looks like a whole load of film, rather than a small length. Are you sure it has been exposed? Hold it up to a window, and check for negative images. If it has been exposed (I.e there are images on each frame) then you should be able to get an image by scanning on a flat bed scanner, inverting it (to make a positive) and tinkering with the image in some photo editing software. Crudely, you could probably tape it to a window, take an image with your phone, and invert it again. Depends on what kind of quality you are after, but from your post it seems that at this stage you are just after determining if you have anything worthwhile or not.

Thanks. Doesn't seem to work on my scanner. Image too dark

The simplest method to identify the subject (IMO) is the method Mr. Marcus suggested. Look for the best face shot you can find and take it from there. You don't mention any identification on the edges of the film - if there are any, that could help narrow the field to a particular time period. This type/size of film roll would suggest professional work - therefore likely a subject of some note or at least wealth.

Thanks. There is nothing on the edges of the film

Its been exposed. Thank you for your suggestion. I can see it is a golfer. Whether it's a known golfer or not I cannot determine without more detail.

Hello team,

I have a small length of old 35 mm black-and-white film. Can anyone suggest a way that I can get a print off one of the frames or even just view it in such a way that I can identify the subject of the film?

Thank you in advance
