FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★½ NOTES: Paramount print, imported from America. Even though the changeovers are visually and audibly ruined and the second reel is affected by half-transparent black marks that continuously appear on the left side, the rest of the print is astonishingly clear. The casino particularly looks and sounds dazzling. DATE: April 27th 2023 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: A print that starts off significantly worn in its first two minutes, but prominently looks crisp, clean and gorgeous. Philip Glass’ score rocked the house. DATE: April 27th 2023 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Imported from America. Print played better and looked crisper than it initially looked like it could have, despite the abundance of thin black lines down the screen throughout. DATE: April 19th 2023 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Print may or may not have been supplied by the Cinema Museum, as the disclaimer almost appeared but was cut off through fading in. Dusty but beautiful print. Changeovers were marked with large, trailing black squares, and a short green line was present at the bottom all the way through until the last reel, which was clearly sourced from a different print due to its redder tint.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Screened as part of the Ginger Rogers season. Very dusty and scratchy with several cuts and changeovers that look like they had to salvage the last frames from alternate prints of the film, but hardly a line of dialogue or number was ruined by the cuts until The Shadow Waltz.
