Color shift does indeed happen to color film over time.  However, my films
haven't faded at all as far as I can detect, but then I've stored them
correctly. The Universal anaglyph prints are very red, even in the 16mm
versions.  They are noticably redder than Columbia's prints.  Are you
certain you aren't mistaking that original red tint for a color shift??
