5 reels
flat/1.66
SRD
TES
Deluxe Hollywood
Eastman 2383

R1 has a couple of 2-frame logos between the "3" on the leader and the first frame of picture--be mindful of where to open douser and/or cut the film

Print arrived with a notice from the Weinstein Co. indicating the aspect ratio and warning that the dialogue is recorded hot and that levels may need to be adjusted

also available on Digi-Beta videotape

edit: hard matte is slightly less than 1.66 throughout and varies slightly from reel to reel--might want to try running at 1.85 (and bringing side masking in slightly, if possible)

edit #2: video transfer; dialogue is tight between R2-3-4-5 changeovers

When this film ran at my theatre, the producer indicated she wanted it run 1.85, even though some shots were more like 1.66. Framing didn't seem particularly tight. She didn't voice concern over the hard matte on the sides being visible, but I see no reason why the masking couldn't have been brought in since the matte is a constant thickness.
