Greeting Mr. Harris,
Thank you for the wonderful work you do and inspire in others. It is a great service to a business that can, at times, be rather short sighted.
I have two questions regarding screenings I saw a couple of years ago at the AMPAS Goldwyn Theater.
"Giant" was supposedly a new print, but turned out to be quite disappointing with the various reels being remarkably inconsistent in color and sharpness. Would you happen to know if this was just a bad print, or are the source elements just that heavily deteriorated.
I also saw the restoration of "Black Narcissus" that Granda Television did a few years ago. The image they presented looked like it was an HD resolution image rather than one done at 2 or 4K. Do you know if a better image exists?
Obviously every film's look and current condition is unique unto its-self. Am I expecting too much from a 50 to 65 year old 35mm original or have I just sited unfortunate examples? I have to admit your work may have spoiled my expectations!
