While I didn't see it, I did see a double 3-D print of Kiss Me Kate struck by Warners that exhibited all that you are mentioning. I thought that I might have been seeing an original Technicolor print (deep blacks, rich colors, low grain for an old movie), but when I inquired, I was told it was a relatively new print. The soundtrack I learned was a Dolby stereo optical print, which I believe that the North By Northwest soundtrack had (as well as an SDDS track?). If you heard stereo at all in that film, it would not have been an original release (mono only).  |  IP: Logged Chris Haller Film Handler Posts: 68 From: Rochester, NY, USA Registered: Dec 2015 posted 03-22-2016 08:56 PM                     I didn't hear a single bit of stereo panning at all. It sounded like a traditional mono print to me.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Some prints are better than others, but almost always I've seen at some point on the print what looks like colored dirt. Sometimes it might be a fairly large spot, sometimes very small specks. But it's almost always there in one form or another if you look for it.  |  IP: Logged
