6 reels

Sony has a gorgeous 2013 reprint (from Foto-Kem) in current circulation. There is no print number that I can find.

Edit: this print looks gorgeous on screen, but the soundtrack on R5 seems to have been slightly misprinted and is noisy on a properly aligned soundhead. Tweaking the lateral guide adjustment will provide acceptable sound quality, but requires that an A-chain be performed afterwards. Argh.

I don't know if prints still exist, but I ran this in Mag Stereo when it first came out.
