Author Topic: The Passenger (1975) John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-15-2007 12:13 AM                     "The Passenger" (1975) aka "Professione: reporter" (original Italian title) aka "The Passenger (Reporter)" (some leaders) 2005 reissue 7 reels 1.85:1 Flat (hard matte) Mono (conventional silver-applicated track) Primarily in English, with occasional local languages No subtitles MGM Sony DFS depot Kodak Color VISION 2383 stock FotoKem lab [*] Soundtrack leaders variously note "--SONY-- A.N.T. version," "Restored Director's version 9/9/05," and combinations. There's a huge amount aperture dirt and hair just outside the 1.85:1 area that I do not understand; occasionally it makes it into the 1.85:1 frame. It is positive (black) that varies from camera cut to camera cut, so I don't understand (originated on reversal stock? That seems unlikely!). Workprints used for the IP?? (If they're going to "restore" the soundtrack, why not make it SR/Woody Allen mono? Ah, well...) === Print-specific info Print #0036 (DFS) Booked through New York Films (circuiting a "former DFS print") 2005 datecode. Print quality Fair/Good (6-7), R1 has some scratches and dirt, but most is decent. Kind of beat up for a 2-year old movie that probably doesn't get a huge number of plays, though. Scribed cues at somewhat irregular positions (motor cue ranges from 10'3f to 12'10f, etc.), no visible lab cues (short tails?). [*] What lab is it that uses those 4"x5/16" white labels, dot-matrix printing, with the title in a larger font on the first line and "35mm Composite Release Print PT-3" (e.g. for reel 3)? Is that FotoKem?. answer: Yeah, at least I have a short FotoKem printed for me with those stickers. [edit: update lab] [ 04-15-2007, 05:42 PM: Message edited by: John Hawkinson ]  |  IP: Logged
