MGM
DFS
6 reels
scope
105 min

reels 1-4 are VERY full
reel 6 is short

I handled print #01001, printed on Kodak 386 dated 1993/1994 (acetate) with a mono (bilateral) soundtrack. This is a Cinemascope film, so possibly there were mag prints. This print is in excellent condition. I think I smelled a bit of vinegar when I opened the box, I'm not sure.

Trapeze was released by United Artists in 1956 and was a CinemaScope film.

The print I handled retained the original style leaders, which were marked CinemaScope. In fact, the only update I saw was that the soundtrack area dated from 1990 in the leaders, which puzzled me because it was not the standard duo-bilateral soundtrack. Possibly they restored it then but didn't remaster it?
