Author Topic: Easy Rider (1969) Request Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 06-09-2005 08:29 PM                        I'll be playing this next week and I'd like to know as much about the print ahead of time. Sound format (I assume it's mono), number of reels and print quality, assuming that there are only a couple still left. Also does any one know if the studio struck any new prints for this recently or if all the remaining prints are 36 years old?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Don't remember image format offhand; IMDB claims it is 1.85. Original prints would either be IB Tech or have faded color.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-11-2005 03:19 PM                     It was definitely non-anamorphic, but it could've been 1.66 It's been way too many years since I ran that one. If you don't get a reissue print, it will probably be completely red.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 06-11-2005 04:17 PM                     Yea, I ran "Easy Rider" back in 1970. Original IB technicolor print (WB was a dedicated IB technicolor user back then until the next couple of years to go back and forth from IB to Eastman)-full frame printing and good ol plain optical mono sound. ...and Steppenwolf's famous soundtrack that came from this movie. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 06-12-2005 10:17 AM                     Some re-issue prints have digital sound.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 06-13-2005 11:57 AM                     quote: Monte L Fullmer WB was a dedicated IB technicolor user back then WB was, but Columbia Pictures released "Easy Rider". The two original prints I ran about 10 years ago were Eastman (faded) & mono and flat 1.85..  |  IP: Logged
