Special Notes --
1) If you play this at 2.35:1, you will see very obvious neg flashes. Played at the new 2.39:1 ar, cleans all that gack up.

2)Print contains about 2 1/2 min of exit music -- the Thunderball theme sung by Tom Jones in black after last fade-out reel 7. Let's see how long before someone slices it off because they think it is "junk" footage.

3)Has a grainy - dupey look to it. Some colors harsh and looks like they possibly were trying hard to correct and make the best of partially faded negatives.
