7.1 uses phantom channels in positions 2 and 4. There is no home theater format for 6-channel 70mm.

The audio has not changed since we completed the work in April of 1990. There were two totally different dubs. One 6-track discreet, and the other oriented more toward home video of the era, which was 3-channels behind the screen, with ghosts at 2,and 4, baby booms, and mono surround. Only...

They are both extraordinarily full, six-track mixes. And at the same time, very different in tonal quality and design. Both are pinnacles of the art of sound design, recording, and mixing, by some of the greatest technical talents in Hollywood. Universal Studios and CBS stand behind their...

As long as the copy is the 55th anniversary, and not that other...

There are no original jump cuts in Lawrence. Those are missing frames, due to various re-cuts.

It would have been one of two things. Something problematic in the action, that needed correction, or alternatively, a stock or processing problem. Regardless, editorial it was, from day one, as that cut is both physically in the original negative and duplicated to the b/w masters.

Now that many people have product, I'll mention something worth checking out, which in the past, could not be seen outside of working on an editing bench or flat bed. With Blu-ray, and the ability to view frames... The famous Robert Lawrence (Stanley's editor) "double slap." A far more...

And an entire crew of technical folks at Universal and elsewhere, many of whom are credited in the restoration credits. RAH

Don't know if I can agree, but there is no contest that Airplane is far funnier. In my experience more people walk out of a theater blotting their eyes after viewing Spartacus. RAH

As I recall, they were converted three-strip cameras.

That would called a typo, not even near the end of a very long day.

There is also the possibility that the video is a satirical response to this thread.

And some of you took my review as satire...

One of the driest lines in the film, that brought down the house when we played at the Uptown in DC, with more than a few senators/congressmen in attendance... Mr. Laughton to Mr. Ustinov, after the comment about "make sure I don't misspend the money." "Don't be ridiculous. I'm a senator... RAH

<p>Like everyone else in the Blu-ray universe, I just received my copy of the new digital restoration of Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus.</p> <p>I was initially alarmed, as there seemed to be a slight chip at the top spine area of the slipcover, and a couple of what appeared to be scratches in the...
