It's all the fault of the 3D fans. And the bicycle riders.

With proper illumination and projection, it should not. Although the master itself, seems a bit heavy. Could be the HD LUT. RAH

The 2D Blu-ray is a tad dark. In 3D, it verges on unwatchable. RAH

Quite correct. Simply using the poster's terminology. It was known, early on, as the "Mackie line" effect. It was found in double dupes, and was a result of the "tanning effect" of the gelatin by the dichromate bleach along many edges separating light and dark areas of the image. I...

The "ringing" are analogue anomalies found in dupes, as made in 1953-4, and there is no way around them. They looked as horrible then, as they do now. Duping to early separation stock, and back to camera negative, was simply way things had to be done at that time... if one was...

No problems with either.

You're guessing, then...

The mastering in both 2 & 3D is essentially the same. If one begins to adjust at the mastering stage, different problems can come to the fore. As I've noted, without glasses, I'm seeing no problems, and I know that WB wants it to be perfect. They've worked very hard on this...

I don't want to be held to this, but I've a feeling that what it may come down to, is a different 3D setting for "golden age" color productions. Not viewing the disc, in 3D format, and without glasses, everything looks as it should. Let's call it a "golden age" anomaly. More to...
