And yes, I'm comparing it to my best copy, which is the one Stanch recently sent.
If I was to compare it to the old copies, you'd puke.
I've gotten in touch with Jerry Verschoor, who worked on the film. He has a lot of love for it - he saved a lot of material from it, and it's been a dream of his to see the true version of this film restored. He says hi to anyone who worked on the film who might secretly be reading.
More news soon. =)
