Film image input apparatus having curved film guide member
 At the center of a guide plate, another guide plate is provided. A convex curved portion is formed on the guide plate, and a concave curved portion is formed on the guide plate facing the curved portion. The force for straightening a photographic film acts on the curled photographic film when it passes between the curved portions. As a result, the photographic film curled in the cross direction is straightened in a predetermined range. A line sensor reads out an image of a straightening position where photographic film curled in the cross direction has been straightened by the curved portions. As a result, even when the photographic film is fed in such a state that it curls in the cross direction, the straightening position keeps straightened by the function of the curved portions, so that a satisfactory image can be displayed on a monitor TV.
