Author Topic: Silence of the Lambs John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-29-2003 11:21 PM                     The Silence of the Lambs 1991 35mm 7 reels (reel 7 is short; ~1000ft) 1.66:1 Flat (rounded corners on camera aperture) Dolby A ("Dolby Stereo") Eastman LPP acetate stock Orion Pictures (now booked through MGM/UA, I believe) Deluxe (Hollywood?) lab ---- Print-specific info Exchange: TES Swank print #0001 (probably only bookable through Swank) Print quality "fair" (3 out of 5); minor scratching in some places, heavy scratching at reel ends. Original lab cues intact. Some ends short by up to 1.5 feet. Has had some head-out storage; recommend following RP39 where feasable, but if not, please keep it tail-out when not in use to minimize focus flutter.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-29-2003 11:57 PM                     quote: Dolby A ("Dolby Stereo") Some prints available with Dolby SR soundtrack. quote: 1.66:1 Flat (rounded corners on camera aperture) Were there any notes enclosed with the prints indicating the projection ratio is 1.66:1, or is 1.66:1 simply the ratio the image was printed in (meaning 1.85:1 would be the projection ratio)? I can recall seeing other Orion spherical releases printed with rounded hardmatte corners (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and RoboCop 2 come to mind, yet they were still meant for 1.85:1 projection).  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-30-2003 12:35 AM                     This is too chatty for my taste; please continue discussion over in Yak. --jhawk (who thinks the FITA is way too chatty lately. Esp. discussions of individual's DVD collections, etc. Let's put a sock in it.)  |  IP: Logged
