Care to qualify who it does pertain to, Bob?

Difficult. Unlike most dirt and scratches, the dirt was on the lens when they photographed the film, so it’s stationary. Removing it would mean either painting it out frame by frame during moving shots, or mapping another part of the frame onto it for stationary. Both of those can introduce...

The SEPTEMBER STORM disc is region-free.

Not even that much—the long-shots are A&C’s camera doubles. Lou was struck ill with a bout of rheumatic fever as he was flying back to LA to shoot the film.

Since Bob is unable to post here anymore, I am (as Associate Producer at the 3DFA) happy to field the previous questions: The elements of DYNASTY are in disastrous, but not unsalvageable conditions. This is a literal “now or never” situation, much like AFRICA SCREAMS, whose preprint elements...
