We test the influence of the quantum size effect on the optical transmission and reflection spectra of films of free-electron metals. We have made measurements on sputtered gold films of thicknesses less than 6 nm. The agreement between theoretical and experimental dependences provides qualitative support for the quantum--size-effect origin of the observed deviation from the classical model.
