Two 35mm Reels 'Big Deal...'

Hi, everyone; I'm a new member and kinda at a loss for ideas, so I thought I'd hit youse guys up for some insight.

Many years ago, I picked up at a yard sale a metal octagon can containing two 35mm reels of some movie. Never did view it since I never came across a projector. Fast-forward a few billion years and I'm now selling my place and going through 60 years of pack-rat crap, er, treasures. Long story interminable: The movie is "Big deal On Madonna street." Does anyone know if the film has any use or value? I can't believe any movie house would still use film, but maybe a movie museum or...? I searched some on the web, but came up dry. I don't know the condition of the film, but years ago I unspooled a little of it and it hung together and seemed ok.

Anyway, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't have the answer you are looking for, but common sense tells me, that at 106 minutes....this film would certainly need more than 'two' reels of 'any' size XXmm.
Something hints to me that your copy may not be complete.

Just a thought.
