101 D was released open matte, 1.33

All, with the exception of revival houses, would have matted

Here's a frame from a 1961 mag/opt print with open matte.

For 1967, with a new 6-track mix.

As I recall, the 1961 prints were 1.37. Will check They were struck without the 1.37 mask, therefore open matte. These were new dye transfer prints, both optical as well as mag/opt, but may have had the raised shots.

I believe the ‘67 release a CS.

Could is the word

There would normally be an international background, and multiple language overlays used in the production of the matrices.

Any version of a highly resolved GWTW, needs quite a bit of digital massaging.

Ron Haver's collectable (and necessary) tome on Mr. Selznick, David O. Selznick's Hollywood (Knopf 1980) describes the technical problems of the effects thusly: "One of the shots posed a completely baffling set of problems for [Jack] Cosgrove. It was the first large "pullback" in the picture...

A major ongoing archival effort at WB has been the interview library which has been in progress for quite a while. It enables the studio, via the efforts of Mr. Feltenstein and others, to bring the men and women who made the movies to the fore whenever needed. The archive holds a massive...

Whatever print they were able to reference certainly led them in the right direction, as the final result is magnificent.

While I had the brief pleasure of meeting Mr. Selznick around 1961, I have no idea if he and company would be "overjoyed." I do however, believe that, as a brilliant showman, he would have been appreciative for the major efforts spent in bring his work to Blu-ray. I have been told than Daniel...

Here's what I said: 2. If this print exists (only a certain number of reels were previously known, plus a print in an archive in China) then the cropped shots should be able to be restored digitally. I don' recall anyone from the studio at that time referring to an entire 1939 "answer print."

The term answer print can have many meanings. From an archival perspective, the answer print would denote the print that was the final approved entity signed off on by the filmmakers. Most answer prints from other than the modern era do not survive. As I recall, the print in Rochester is far...

We did testing at the Chinese lab, which I'm told is now a strip mall. It's been shut down for years.

There actually is a "correct" look. However that look, as I noted earlier, would not be appreciated by modern audiences. Generally when restoring a film, creating a new master, be it film or data, the archivist will search out an Approved Answer Print. This is the final print signed off on by...

I'm responding to posts by Adam_S, as well as that just previous, by Mediagy: First to Adam's comments: You're words regarding prints, theater surroundings, lamp houses, color temperature, etc. are very accurate. I'll add to that the huge difference between carbon arc (and the type of carbon...

Have not done a film to dvd comparison. Not certain whether the shots have been slightly field enlarged or other elements were used. The 1.66 ratio material was out in last SD.

David O. Selznick's Gone with the Wind on Blu-ray -- one doesn't use the directorial possessive for this one -- has arrived from Warner Bros. For this Event I'll use one or two more than a few words. Majestical Epic Timeless Gorgeous Perfect and on Blu-ray, Extremely Highly Recommended...
