Shooting the Past Movie Review 1999

Christopher Anderson (Cunningham) is a wealthy American developer who has just purchased an old London mansion, which he is intending to convert into a business school. The mansion presently houses the Fallon Photo Library, consisting of some 10 million historical pictures. The indifferent Anderson says the pictures must be sold or destroyed within a week. But Anderson reckons without the library's impervious employees, who will do whatever is necessary to save their library.
