Ed, you're right, most films these days have anti-halation layers that prevent/reduce light from passing through the base layer and reflecting off the film pressure plate.

Lucky film is one with a poor anti-halation layer, the result is blown highlights with brightly lite subjects.

I don't expect it will influence your photos much, as in the 1930s and 1940s Kodak 35 cameras had unpainted metallic pressure plates.
