Not sarcasm. You see, the copy of the workprint Stanch sent me, which is of much better quality than any copy I've seen, was sent to me on DVD, and sadly it was a pretty poor DVD transfer, full of bad compression.

This is the version I've been working from. The compression was annoying me, so I asked Stanch if he had the original VHS of this copy of the workprint, and he said he did, and not only that, but he had gotten his copy from Frank Gabriel, and he could ask Frank if he could borrow Frank's OWN vhs ... literally a copy of Calvert's own copy.

Which would bring the quality of the workprint up two more generations, plus whatever I can impose on the image with TBC.

Which would mean redoing it AGAIN.

The things I do for you people. =)

Stanch also has a lead on a widescreen version of Calvert's cut, which has been my Holy Grail of things I don't have. At this rate I'll be redoing this movie over and over for 20 years .... and then I'll draw Roger Rabbit or something.
