Has anybody noticed that during I Could Have Danced All Night Nixon's dubbing, which isn't precise for most of the film, is especially imprecise yet the maid's interjections are nearly perfectly synched? And why is all the dialogue perfect? Most distracting. Nixon did not have these problems on...
Just rewatched part of the streaming 4k on itunes and my initial impressions were confirmed. The colors have been slightly dulled and the sound isn't as good. The films comes alive on bluray in a way it doesn't in 4k. I wonder why they didn't go to Mr. Harris for this? If they decide to put it...
During the exit music Paramount thanks Robert Harris for his restoration work on the film. All the rest of the restoration credits have been eliminated.
