The original prints were Dolby A. Did the leaders actually SAY 'SR'?

I thought that "SR" came out in 1987 as "Spectral Recording" - a new sound from Dolby.

Correct.
Posted by Dean Kollet (Member # 1789) on 09-06-2005, 09:05 AM:
yea, you are both right, sorry. Dolby A.

Our print is labeled 1.33.
Can/should it be run that way?

1.85, soft matte.

It was a Super-16 blow-up, so the 35mm prints will be hard-matted.

I didn't actually handle it...but we ended up running it 1.85:1...and it just seemed really tight on screen.

Don't forget to turn it up to '11', Reece.

Will do John,
Actually not a bad print, it's an original release print from 1984, colour is still good, a bit knocked around at the heads and tails and moderate scratching at intervals, but ok.
