7 reels (on B&W acetate-base stock)
flat/Academy
24fps with Dolby SR music track
Kino International (US distributor)
no depot (print shipped directly from another theatre)
This print has the worst leaders ever. They are essentially clear and have no countdowns--only a "START" frame, which presumably corresponds with "PICTURE START" on a normal Academy countdown. On my print, someone had helpfully marked "X"es where the 8-foot mark would ordinarily be located.
Edit: Mine was print #4. Supposedly there were 12 made in total, though one has been destroyed, leaving 11 in current circulation. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Our print had dozens of splices taped together with masking tape.

Kino print #8 came this way over the weekend and it's in decent shape. It has few splices here and there and missing frames at the head and tail of each reel, but it is generally decent.
