If it's anything like the Seattle Filmworks (re-spooled motion picture film) from the 70's, 80's, it's hideous. Those neg's faded very quickly.

Bohica!
As Spirit Vision said, the film is terrible and should be thrown away. It was advertised in the old photo magazines and was re-spooled motion picture film which required a cine film processor to remove the jet-black protective coating. I believe it was given away for free and a shooter would get prints and transparencies for a fee. By now, it's probably many decades out of date!
Be well! Ed

It’s unfortunate you didn’t process them promptly. I believe I went thru several rolls of that film at one time; the slides are still fine I believe. I’m not very good at identifying old film, so I’m not sure which negatives are them, but I don’t recall any problems with scanning either old negatives or old slides {I did both}.

Seems like he already got good advice and decided not to use the film.
