I have a second print on loan and am currently in the queue at the scanning facility. At the moment, they’re swamped with an incredibly time-consuming commission so it may be several weeks (minimum) until I get the invoice— barring unforseen events. It should be well worth the wait; without giving away too much too soon, I will say that this new print is perhaps the only one of its kind left in near-mint condition, complete without a single disruptive splice in it whatsoever, in gobsmackingly-good IB Technicolor. It has something of a reputation in collector/projectionist circles, so you can imagine my surprise when the owner offered to loan it for the project.

I’ll update here as soon as I have the files and start any preliminary color grading. Things are moving, just very slowly.

But they are moving right along.
