100 year old 'lost film' featuring 1911 Indianapolis 500 runner up ‘SMILING’ Ralph Mulford found by National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.

In the depths of the NFSA catalogue lies a unique gem titled My Pal, a 35mm diacetate film with an intriguing history. Discovered amidst a trove of films hidden away in a shipping container during the 1990s, its reveal marked a significant moment for the NFSA. Yet, the origins of these films and the circumstances of their arrival remain mysterious. My Pal stands out as an orphan title, adding to its allure.

My Pal is a 35mm diacetate film with an intriguing history. Discovered amidst a trove of films hidden away in a shipping container during the 1990s, its reveal marked a significant moment for the archive. Yet, the origins of these films and the circumstances of their arrival remain mysterious. My Pal stands out as an orphan title, adding to its allure.

Unravelling the story of My Pal took time, with scant references found in magazine journals dating back to 1926. Even online databases offer little insight into its production details. It wasn't until 2015 that this rare diacetate treasure was uncovered, revealing its association with the Atlas Educational Film Company and its starring role for the renowned 'Smiling' Ralph Mulford.

While ostensibly a promotional piece for the Cleveland Six motor car, affectionately known as 'My Pal' within the narrative, the film transcends its industrial origins. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, it unfolds a gripping story of urgency as Ralph and his team transport a doctor to the hospital to treat a critical patient, a journey fraught with roadblocks, snowstorms, and a series of unforeseen mishaps.

More details about the significance of the film can be found at https://www.nfsa.gov.au/latest/my-pal-smiling-ralph-mulford

The whole film runs for 14:57 and is safely held at the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA). The complete film, in excellent condition, is a rare find and you can view the entire 15-minute film on the NFSA YouTube channel. This year marks the 100th anniversary of its release, making this preservation and access even more significant.
