Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: A good-looking blow-up print, albeit one in a condition that renders it a challenge to project in focus, as shown on a brief couple of occasions and the majority of the first reel. Some vertical wear is visible when Dylan arrives and performs at Royal Albert Hall. DATE: June 14th 2025 CINEMA: BFI LOCATION: Southbank

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★½ NOTES: A beaten down AGFA stock print introduced by Lost Reels and Mark Jenkin. The most projectable of the two prints the National Archive had; the other was an Eastman print which suffers a pink hue, this one endures a blue hue that gets stronger and less faded in every reel projected from projector B, as well as a prolonged beeping noise that lasted through the entire screening.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Printed in 1975 for the National Archive for a Gregory La Cava retrospective, presented with an alternate opening logo and ending card to obscure any trace of Universal’s credit. The end of the second reel has its picture and sound ominously peter out. The picture loses stability for a moment when Clarissa introduces herself to Nancy, and a triple streak of vertical wear appears and disappears over the last reel every eighteen-odd frames.
