In the other thread dedicated to the tears that appeared on the release prints and on some home video releases, Tservo pointed out that the camera shake in the original film was a combination of a real camera shake and optical effect, and he is absolutely correct about that
Whew, I had mentioned an optical shake there in some thread or other and was subsequently convinced I was misremembering. Still a couple brain cells left after all! :)
