Anything is possible, especially if the original files were not archived - something I’ve never understood.

Non-theatrical distribution, TV since the late ‘40s…

Why would NxNW require a new scan? What's wrong with the current scan?

Because they’ve been derived from PD sources. I believe this is from a nitrate fine grain.

Dye fade and VS are not connected.

Therefore, film elements are of less importance than those touching said elements? The answer is keeping those who have no viable reason to involve themselves away from positions that enable them to get near said elements. Way too many people in those positions already.

Restorations are created for asset protection. Streaming, physical media et al are all ancillary uses.

I’m not certain as to precisely what RAH said, as some feel he has the mind of a goldfish, but ZF is NOT derived fully from the original nitrate negatives. Two reels (if that mind is functioning) were lost in a fire, and those reels are derived from b/w masters. Will the average viewer be able...

To answer the mag question — early magnetic, 3D and a few other titles, were all run with rubbers. the earliest scope prints also double system at 2.66. - standard perfs early magnetic prints were 2.55, which was phased out in favor of mag/opt at 2.35 - Fox perfs afaik, all mag prints had 4...

Was Mr. Feltenstein captured by Mormons?

Marketing.

To be clear, the original Steamboat Willie version of Mickey may go unprotected, but not necessarily other varients.

And Then... is (or can be) protected by virtue of underlying lit.

Isn’t Swashbuckler available? Thought I had a copy.

If that's accurate, it would entail scanning over 400,000 frames. And that would be only the beginning of the process.

I believe that was Brothers Grimm. Wasn’t there water damage on one of the strips?

Nick, I don‘t doubt what your eyes are telling you. My time is extremely limited at present, or I’d investigate further. It’s just not what I’m seeing. Looks wonderful to me, projected, and uprezzed to 4k.

I just checked out The Mortal Storm, and am seeing zero problems. It's a nice transfer from a quality 35mm pre-print element. Is it possible that somehow, settings on your gear may have been affected by a power failure or other anomoly?

The film may have fallen into the PD. Was the underlying lit not renewed?

Knights was Eastman with dye transfer prints. Shot by Freddie Young.

I believe many TCM HD broadcasts are not.

I believe both, may have been filmed, at least partially, with monopack. Wonder if any of it survives, or whether we’re down to the three-strip extractions?

A nice 400k double feature.

Couldn’t agree more. What WB has been neglecting in their Monroe library should be made illegal. We need to pool financial resources, and take them to court. Or possibly pass a new amendment. They control the majority of her work, and treat her badly. Precisely, how badly, is best left to...

Wait. No one is napping at Warner Archive.

You missed Deadly is the Female...
