I respectfully disagree, as I consider this the most film like grading I’ve done. Technicolor prints tend to be more saturated than most other prints. Prints in general tend to have a higher saturation and contrast than the home video release we’re used to. Have a look at these photos taken during the screening of the Senator print:

or these photos of a reel of another Technicolor print:

One of the questions in grading a print scan, is whether to correctly represent what’s seen on a print, or whether to reduce saturation and contrast to conform to the expectations of a home video release. In this case I opted for the former, but I’m open to suggestions…
