Two questions, if you please

A) My partner's been in posession of some Super8 film for a movie we'll be shooting on friday. He's had this film for a month and only just realized that it has to be stored in temperatures below 60 degree's. It's been in his (or so he tells me) air conditioned apartment for the month, is the film still ok?

B) once I've shot a roll, where should I put it? back in teh box?

one more question:

I just finished shooting a roll of film, where should I store it before I send it off to be developed?

Normally if you shoot film you send it to be developed the same day, unless you're out in the middle of nowhere.

I'm not sure whether sticking exposed film in the fridge is safe, though I remember that 'Lawrence of Arabia' had to do that because they were in the middle of the desert and nowhere near a film lab (of course they also had a number of shots screwed up by the heat affecting the film).

oh no!

i have around 5 rolls of film that have been shot but not developed...

The problem is, we don't have the money for development just yet. CRAP.
