beside what has been mentioned here already regarding really old films theres also the same effect when you watch TV recordings especially older stuff.
the reason why TV recordings are faster than they should be is that they play movies at 110% speed so they have more time to play ads.
on a standard 90 minute movie this little trick saves them 9 minutes which is just enough for an entire ad segment.
this can be more noticeable in older recordings because they would sometimes play back the movies even faster to test out the limit when people would complain.
