Flat 1.85:1
Mono
6 reels

1999 full-frame re-print.

Our print had leaders marked as 1.66:1 but this is definitely a 1.85:1 show. One print (not this one) I ran many years ago was a technicolor print with 1.85:1 frame lines...and it was shot in VistaVision.

All prints have the award-winning* change-over from 2 to 3 inexcusably placed slap-bang in the middle of the 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' number. This doesn't even work on a brand new print much less down the track a few years. [Roll Eyes]

One of the prints that was out there also has a Perspecta track.

Yes, the intended AR should be 1.85-1. Don't know why the 1999 print wasn't a full reduction.
