rec.photo.darkroom Discussion: Sixty-year-old undeveloped film

I recently liberated a box of old photos and negatives from my grandfather's
personal effects. Along with the developed items, I found three rolls of
apparently
exposed but undeveloped 35mm film. One is Kodak "Panatomic," and the other
two are Kodak "Panchromatic SS" and "Panchromatic SX." I assume the latter
are color film. Assuming they're contemporary with the other 35mm negatives,
they were exposed around 1940. Is there any chance that they'll produce
usable
negatives, or are they junk?

Thanks
