Im screening 'Hello Dolly' on the 18th May here at City Screen York LTD (U.K.) Original 1970 TODD-AO print with only slight colour fade, Amazing sound though. Best of luck with your shows Bill.

ANother problem, Quintophonic sound used only 5 towers in the original set-up. Left rear and right rear speakers were supposed to match the left and right stage speakers, and were mounted in direct alighnment. So the reproduction through a serieds of small surrounds dones't QUITE match the way the fil was originally heard. However, Im sure its superior to those SR two-teack/4 channel prints that Columbia released in the 90's. quote: Original 1970 TODD-AO print with only slight colour fade, Amazing sound though. The American Cinemateche was lucky enough to get a brand new 70mm print (off the ON, no less during their fall "Really Big Film festival. The print was just finished a couple of days before the showing and played back with a special DTS Todd-AO format 6-track sound disk. Incredible experience.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-01-2003 01:21 PM                     Paul that info was from the Egyptian site. About the new prints. A original 4 Track Mag Quintaphonic print from the Fox Wilshire Theatre is still located in Los Angeles. Plus the Quintaphonic decoder from that theatre.  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-01-2003 01:58 PM                     quote: A original 4 Track Mag Quintaphonic print from the Fox Wilshire Theatre is still located in Los Angeles.
