scott, i briefly checked out the flat trailer (just on the bench). the last photographic image is a full-frame shot of john ritter. judging from the headroom, it looked like it should be projected 1.85. so assuming that was footage from the film and not specially shot for the trailer, it suggests the film is 1.85.

It was Flat, 5 Reels and had a mono soundtrack.

As expected, Bill is correct. Swank print #0001 is an original release print from 1979 on fading Eastmancolor stock. Physically, it is in good condition and does not have any vinegar smell.
