I’ve now had a chance to view my copy and I’m extremely satisfied.
I had seen this film once previously in a dual-35mm presentation that was very poor. The two prints had various bits of wear, damage, dirt/debris, and uneven fading. The theater had the polarizing filters installed incorrectly...
Excellent review, Matt! It sounds like this new disc will be a welcome improvement over the less-than-stellar 35mm presentation I saw a few years ago. I can’t wait to get my copy.
