aka Friday the Thirteenth

Paramount/DW
DFS
flat 1.85 (hard matted)
5 reels
mono
95 min

Print # 01004 is on Kodak 2383 film stock dated 2004 with high magenta soundtrack. The box label incorrectly states quad-track.

The first reel has about a dozen splices (but no jumps) and the fourth reel has some obvious wear in the first couple of minutes. There's also an occasional faint crackling in the audio. Otherwise, the print is in overall excellent condition.

A dozen splices on one reel of 2383 stock? What happened?? There couldn't have been that many lab splices that needed removal. Were these near any other sprocket damage, scratches, or anything else? Was someone removing trophy frames?

You ought to report it to Paramount so that no one points the finger at you.
