The Paramount’s official blu-ray trailer is on Amazon.com website or below this paragraph which shows the very same scene as your 35mm slide screen grab (hit 'play' and look for it at around 9 seconds into the presentation). As you can see, there is more image information on blu-ray than your...

Quote: Well said, Adam.

Amen to that, Mr. Harris. It’s beyond me several people on here just can’t understand something as logical as this. Obviously, their mind has set to whatever they wish to believe. This particular thread reminds me of some sort of religious thread, really, but can be quite interesting to observe...

Eric – Those were sweetened -and enhanced - a few times over the course of decades of multiple re-releases under several hands of different mixing engineers.

Quote: That vintage 35mm dye transfer reduction print of The Sound of Music was made around 1967, actually, and was approved by Mr. Ted McCord (the cinematographer). It’s a legitimate source for color and density reference for the recently struck 70mm print that Mr. Robert Wise saw not too...

Lidenbrock, My pleasure! Regarding the soundtrack CD, I’m afraid I don’t have any real firsthand knowledge on that matter but I do know that when RCA Victor Records’ sound engineers prepared the soundtrack way back in 1965 they applied their very own EQ and also added some electronic echoes on...

Mike, I wish I could tell you but it's confidential. ;)

Eric, You're most welcome.

Eric, All I can say is that particular sound effect you mentioned is not that loud in the original 6-track film master in the first place. Over the years - and numerous re-releases - some versions might have been re-mixed in louder volume than others

Mr. Harris is right. Also, I should add that the original 6-track print master of The Sound of Music, the source for the new hi-def, lossless, 7.1 DTS-HD sound mix was in dismay condition, so much so that first considered to be unplayable due to severe acetate shrinkage, physical damage and...

Lidenbrock, you are very welcome.

Hi Brian, I wish I could tell you further and/or identify the source for verification but, unfortunately, it's strictly confidential. Let's just just say I haven't just read, been told or making things up. I don’t know if this answer will satisfy you but that’s all I can tell, at least for the...

Everyone involved had to hold thier breath when they created that new IP from the very fragile original camera negative. They decided not to touch the original negative again for the time being and chose to work from that IP for this blu-ray edition. Oh, I should add that the new IP was created...

You may try to say this to Francis Ford Coppola and his cinematographer Gordon Willis on thier work and color scheme on "The Godfather" and let's see what they might respond to you. The late cinematographer Mr. Jack Cardiff also often prefer his works to look very warm, to name but a few.

The original negative of The Sound of Music is too fragile it's not worth the risk at this point in time.
