Kodak Gold 400, Expiration unknown, metered at iso 80, Ricoh Xr-2s.
kind of tempting me to break my backlog color correcting schedule just to show you a pretty nasty old e6 roll I just had scanned (by the same guy on the same scanner), to which I was also told that e6 holds its color data better. You can think what you wish, but I have film expired much longer that looks even worse when looked at it (it is slide film) and still GEM recovered colors.

was shot on film expired 1991, that is the time when Kodak Gold was on sale. (As far as I remeber it was new in the market a bit before 2000.)
When you look at the original, it is only a green rectangle where you can recognise some faint shadows. No, the scanner had no struggle, it was just one click to scan with GEM enabled and colors where restored to what you can see. Not ideal, but usable acounting where it started from.
Now this is E6, not C41 and sensivity is only a quarter, but this is about image being formed and than regaining colors, so it is not different.You can think what you wish and laugh like an idiotic child, but I have film expired much longer that looks even worse when looked at it (it is slide film) and still GEM recovered colors.

My friend/ lab tech who scanned this said once CN film loses its color information like this, there’s no getting it back. 
Ha Ha !! I think 'Scanner Software' would Struggle with that one ! Good scanner software can get color out of it.
