I agree with you. And the rest of the question is, even if Mr. Harris did work on it, how much more could he do? I thought that any problems had more to do with how it was originally made, and what shape the elements were in. Even to ignore that, it was released by WAC, not WHV (owing to popularity of catalog titles), and they still have a limited budget to work with (and I doubt that would have changed if Mr. Harris had done this one, either).
All projects like Silk, move steadily toward an ultimate rational budget point.
I thought that it looked terrific, for a 1957 Monopack negative production.
Could it look better?
Possibly, but incrementally.
And only by throwing another six figures into the budget, presuming that the elements would allow it.
That noted, I don’t understand what the purpose might be.
I’d leave it as it is, as opposed to spending funds to possibly raise a score by one or two tenths of a point.
One might peg a higher score at $75,000 per tenth, and that score might never hit 5.0.
