I've frozen film for the past 20 years with no problems, color slide and print films from Kodak. The pro's at the 2 day Nikon seminar said "No problem, just give it 4-5 hours to reach room temperatures before you use it."
I've bought 20 roll bricks at a discount or short dated film and frozen it since then. I think the only thing that deteriorates is the film base itself as it is made up of old cow bones. The comment was that Kodak was the biggest buyer of cow bones in the USA. Regards, Bob S.

There is, however, a story of a Norwegian expedition to Antarctica where they used an LX being modified to roll the film the opposite way around the spool in the camera to avoid cracking, but the temperatures may be well below the temperature in the freezer. If the film holds freezer temperatures during use I�d be careful with winders and motor drives.
