Author Topic: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) Tom Doyle Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Bristol, CT, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 03-29-2010 08:09 AM                     DFS Paramount/DW scope 6 reels 118 min Dolby A The credits say Dolby 'in selected theaters' so possibly there were mono prints as well. I handled print #00312 on Eastman LPP dated '84. It has mostly light dirt and wear, sometimes moderate. Occasionally a green vertical line appears. The reel changes are very rough. There are a fair amount of splices, especially in the first reel, and there are a few quick 'jump cuts' but no significant missing footage or dialog. Overall, a very watchable print. The box label incorrectly states "quad-track".  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Smith Expert Film Handler Posts: 201 From: Youngstown, OH Registered: Jan 2010 posted 03-29-2010 08:21 AM                     Prolly just means that the Dolby was only available in the theatres that paid for a Dolby reader (says the same thing now with SDDS, DTS, and Dolby Digital). . .  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-29-2010 08:23 AM                     At one time 70MM prints were available on this title. That was the standard DOLBY logo credit on films and posters. Dolby in selected theatres just means, that some chains had Dolby houses and mono houses in their theatres or complexes. There was plenty of mono houses still around at the time that had no Dolby Stereo booths.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 04-22-2014 12:19 PM                 It has been 1485 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Michael Kurtzke Film Handler Posts: 45 From: Ashburn, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2013 posted 04-22-2014 12:19 PM                     Temple of Doom DCP: Bookings through Park Circus Shipped by Technicolour 2K Scope 126GB 5.1 Audio Runtime: 1:58:18 Credit Start Time: 1:53:03 Very colourful print! Sharp too, with the exception of the composite shots [Credits, VFX, etc.] The framing seems tight. Feels like it should have been 2:20 instead of 2:39. You can see some foreheads get cut off during close-up shots [we run with 0% cropping]. Also, When the credits start, pillar boxes are added to mask the picture to ~2.20:1. Maybe they sourced the DCP from a fine-grain 70mm negative?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-22-2014 04:28 PM                     The DCP would have been sourced from 35mm elements, unless the film was shot in 65mm.  |  IP: Logged
