5 reels
flat/1.85
SRD
no depot (print shipped directly to theatre)
laser-burned subtitles (on US prints)
no attached/enclosed trailers
Eastman 2383 print stock
hand-scratched cue marks

Entire film is one continuous shot; do not leave any frames attached to leaders when running on large reels or platters. (Someone apparently decided that my print [#11] should have 2-4 reference frames attached to every head and tail leader....)

All reels end with a few frames of black followed by a few frames of a non-standard version of LAD girl.

Scott, what the "LAD girl" thing is?

"LAD girl" is a reference used by US labs to ensure consistency in the printing process. It has a picture of a girl and some blocks of different colors along the sides and edges. John Pytlak won an Academy Award for developing the process for Kodak.
