Lady Gangster (1942) [P&M] YouTube (300MB)

About this film

I usually only upload movies where the video quality is significantly greater than what's currently available on the Archive, but this is an interesting exception. This is a video that I downloaded from YouTube because it looks slightly better, to me, than what's currently available on the Archive: the contrast is better, the sound quality is much better, and the macroblocking is a big improvement. That being said, the bitrate is surprisingly low -- and, much more importantly, the animation is bizarrely uneven. Still, when watching the film, this is the version that I chose, and I have no idea of where it comes from (where the YouTube uploader first got it). The cropping is also somewhat different compared to what else is available here on the Archive. As long as you can get over the uneven framerate, you might appreciate this alternative to what's currently available, here.
