I was under the impression the new print shown at the Egyptian was a studio archive print.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-27-2003 11:39 AM                     You are right that it is a studio print. But studio prints get loaned out for special screenings. My other post was just to say that a 70MM print was just made. It's up to Fox on how and who gets to use that print.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 01-27-2003 11:04 PM                        Anybody know how many reels?  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-28-2003 02:24 AM                     10 reels, with reel 10 being very short. The intermission title is at the end of reel 5. Reel 6 starts with the entr'acte. Also, most likely everything out there will be faded to some degree. IMO, for a musical that cost so make to make, it was stupid to not make dye tranfer prints.  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-28-2003 07:48 AM                     quote: Also, most likely everything out there will be faded to some degree.

The 70mm print Bill is referring to was a brand new print and couldn't have looked better (except for some dupe material)if it had been made in 1969.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-28-2003 10:06 AM                        Based on the reports of the superb quality of the 70mm print screened a few months ago at the American Cinematheque Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, the 65mm printing negative is still in very good condition, and any new prints would have excellent color.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 01-28-2003 12:08 PM                        I leaned not too ong ago that Fox is planning to release this movie on DVD in the very near future. Since the technology now exist, I hope they use the original 65mm negative like they did with "OKLAHOMA". I have "HELLO DOLLY" in the Todd AO ratio on laserdisc and it is superb. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 01-28-2003 03:57 PM                        70mm Todd-Ao 2.2:1 6 Reels (i guess the 10 short reels mentioned above are combined onto the 6 used for this print) 6 Track Mag Screening this print on 18th May in York (U.K) Colour on Part 1 slightly fadded, Part 2 ok. Genuine Todd-Ao sound quality amazing. [ 03-17-2003, 06:16 PM: Message edited by: Darren Briggs ]  |  IP: Logged
