My point was is that for virtually every transfer they were using an intermediate print. Either an interpositive or an internegative. If using an internegative, as we previously discussed, it has the cue marks and everything else and once you reverse it it will look like a release print. So all the ones with a cue marks probably internegatives. but the 1982 transfer was specifically a release print in very bad shape. I had a very green color to it that they color corrected. And even so when you look at it the transfer looks very yellow. However, the opening titles were horizontally compressed so it has one of the highest quality transfers of that section which I found very valuable for one of my projects. The colors are horrible, but the details are great.

Also of note, in the interview Mr. Cook states that they didn’t constantly adust the transfer. So each scene is not individually color corrected. It is one setting for the entire film. So the scene by scene color, saturation, and contrast, at least of the transfers he did, are true to the original print.
