If that's true it's completely insane, it's the most inaccurate flesh tones I've ever seen. I've never seen an original reel presented theatrically unfortunately but I do know until the SE every home video release had something resembling accurate flesh tones but in the SE everyone looks like cooked lobsters.

I've never seen any caps from the technicolor presentations with anywhere near the amount of red bias the SE has either.

The SE is just too oversaturated, way too oversaturated, the red bias is off the charts.

In that technicolor presentation there the flesh tones are 1 trillion times more accurate than they are in the SE.
