BTW Harmy (et al.) this probably goes in the "obvious" category, but a lot of times when it comes to 35mm scans where single frames of a title are posted, the particular frame can make a big difference in the perceived quality. These two LFL's are from the same source, it's just that the bottom one is two frames later than the top one. But it's an important two frames: the fade-out had just begun...

I just notice sometimes we judge the film/era/quality of the graphics from things which are actually "moving-targets."
Apologies for the full-res crop, but it makes it much easier to see.
