BATMAN (1989)
70mm Print ID: A-6
Eastman LPP Print Stock (1989)
6 Reels / 1:85 in 2:20 70mm frame
6 Track Dolby "A" Magnetic Sound
Cue marks are lab-dots, but almost all of them are in very dark scenes,
with the motor cue on Reel 1 being the most challenging. Although this
is a vintage print, it was in excellent shape, with outstanding color and
sound. It almost looks like IB-Tech, but it's not. Very, very slight hint of
vinegar odor. The print had almost no splices except for the leaders
In fact, the leaders were my main issue:
> Reel One arrived with no leader at all. I have a set of spare 70mm
leaders I keep for situations like this, and attached one to use for the
four shows I ran here, but 70mm leaders are expensive and hard to
get, so I removed it after our 70mm engagement was over.
>Several of the reels had leaders and/or tape labels with reel numbers
that had nothing to do with the actual reel they were attached to. (For
example, the HEAD leader on R4, is actually a re-purposed TAIL leader
from R2, spliced on backwards) For my own sanity and for benefit of
those who may handle the print after me, I added tape with my own
reel numbers, written in Roman numerals, on each reel and also stuck
a note in with the film before shipping it out that if anyone found the
original reel number labels confusing, they should use the labels with
Roman numerals which are correct.
TODAY'S FUN FOTOS:
Old style metal ICC shipping cases & metal reels. Weight was just under 300lbs.

Several customers commented on the good quality of the sound. Yes, I have
a couple of Dolby tone 70mm loops in my collection I was able to test with.
