I'm sorry Bruce, but I just can't get all worked up into the debates of what color is correct. "It's too brown" "Warner's releases are all too yellow" "Fellowship of the Ring is too green" It's all so subjective and people have these distinct memories of how something should look, even though color timings vary each time new prints are struck.haineshisway said:Thank you for the history lesson, but I've been a film collector for almost forty years and in the business longer. My expectations are that the film look like the film should look. As I said, I owned a dye transfer scope print of Itch so I know exactly what the color should look like. I'm sure that you have seen several Blu-ray transfers from that era shot on exactly the same Eastman stock that look incredible. Watch Bigger than Life. And there are many other examples where the color is correct - Itch is not one of them. It's too soft (and I am not talking about the problem with the mumps) and it's too brown. The sound on Itch is great, but the image should also be great and it's not. I have only one expectation when watching a film I know well - it needs to look like the film I know well.
