HDR? HDR? We don‘t need no stinking HDR. With all of the element problems, we were thrilled to replicate the look and textures in SDR. Extremely problematic elements, with 21 minutes derived from b/w.

The 8k version is totally based upon our original scans, as well as color, which is captured and saved. An interesting halo project, but as noted above, most relevant toward medical and other technical use.

Mr. Previn was extremely helpful and generous with his time toward the MFL restoration, as to how the original recordings were produced. An extraordinary gentleman, and a great talent.

MFL is glorious in 4k. HDR could potentially cause harm, and not good. Not all films are ripe to be HDR’d. Fortunately, we do have the means to HDR an image, akin to waving vermouth over vodka.

Why, might you suppose, that MFL is in need of Dolby Vision?

That was Gene Allen's shadow.

The LoC "preserves." They do not restore. Generally, when a film is added to the list, the copyright owner, will donate a quality pre-print element to the Library.

Yes. On a large format screen, and presuming that both have proper projection.

That is the best way to see it.

Depends upon how it's being presented

Yes. CBS properly supported their asset, with a new recorded 65mm negative, datasat track, and fully timed answer print. I don't believe in 70mm projection, except in special circumstances, on proper equipment, and most importantly, with trained projectionists -- reel to reel. Far too many...

Kind words always appreciated. Looks four times better in 4k, as the resolution is built in.

MFL shines in 4k.

An extraordinary lady, with an extraordinary talent, who did not have an easy life. She will be greatly missed.

There are two forms of 96k audio. One is Dolby upsampled from specially created 96 to 48 files, which should read on hardware as 96. The other is pure 96, which is what you'll find on MFL, replicating in a slightly compressed fashion the original magnetic elements, as harvested and cleaned...

Do you have full 96k sonic playback ability?

Shot by Harry Stradling, edited by David Lean, camera operated by Jack Halyard, who shot Kwai, and score by Arthur Honegger (Napoleon).

And to you!

I presume you mean HDR. The problem with HDR and older films is overall color / density stability, without adding another set of problems. MFL is not what it appears to be. Color took five months. Problems with differential fade, mold on sep masters, and extremely unstable color, both from...

Doubtful HDR for MFL. The process does not relate to the film. RAH

If I'm reading you properly, what you may be hearing in sound 1, is air being pushed from a cushion. I've never noted any anomalies as to S2. The most interesting transparency of audio that I noted, hearing the new transfer from the original six track, is what appears to possibly be a...

None of those of us involved put a price on the experience, especially CBS, whose desire was perfection, that would take you precisely it did.

All original dubs, c 1964 or slightly thereafter.

You missed the discussion of my having apparently tested the incorrect film elements. It appears that my comments were based upon a duplicate negative that had been overprinted in the mid-1960s by Ken Films. I had forgotten to consult my film stock gauge. The original has been examined by a...

Not quite full circle... The director of photography for Pygmalion?

Runs fine on my 103D. I'd call Oppo. They're generally very helpful with settings, cache, memory et al. I doubt the problem is the disc

What are the players, model numbers, and firmware?

Specific digital fx platforms. More than that, if I told you...

Mr. Allen told us that the shadow was his appearance in the film.

There are no problems with West Side Story. It's owned by MGM, and the original negative is pristine. RAH
