The problem is that despite the "Super Technirama 70" in the credits, there doesn't seem to be any indication that this film actually played in 70mm anywhere, US or Europe, and the US prints certainly were not 70mm, just regular 35mm Cinemascope-compatible prints with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio (or 2.4:1, depending on how recent the SMPTE guidelines you're using are).<br /><br />The orange reds and green shadows seems to be an overall colorspace error, since it's consistent for the whole film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-75438844718622252012021-04-21T15:30:50.091-04:002021-04-21T15:30:50.091-04:00I'm like to get a copy of the Italian TV broad...I'm like to get a copy of the Italian TV broadcast.Luv chocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229299775774433559noreply@blogger.com
