Why not just concede the fact that Saturn will be grossly over-exposed in
any single film shot that reveals M1

Perhaps, but I was able to successfully shoot Saturn and several of the moons ( I believe they are around mag 10) using an SBIG ST10E.
See: http://www.astro-physics.com/gallery/astroph/roland/saturnsmall.htm

The technique is to shoot a dozen or more short exposures where Saturn will be just at the point of saturation. The faint stuff will be in the noise, but averaging the frames will allow you to dig the image out of the noise.
