It is shown that, when the electron free path is large, the theoretical electrical conductivity of single crystal metal films exhibits anomalous anisotropic properties similar to, but even more pronounced than, those found in the anomalous skin effect in anisotropic metals. It is suggested that experiments on the anisotropic behaviour of thin films may be of value in the study of the electronic configuration of metals.
