The only thing I found is this:
That's the trailer I immediately thought of after seeing the 35mm restored print. It looked as if they tried to match that which was always brilliantly saturated. Of course, is this how the film originally looked? We have no idea. To my eyes the new version didn't feel right, and some of the work done was visible.
So both the color timing and the soundmix are still unknowns as to original theatrical presentation.
The biggest thing is how in the heck did Douglas Slocombe shoot without a light meter? ;)
Thanks for the tweak comparison you_too, it makes for an interesting what-if, but on TOD it doesn't match the cinematography style and undermines it a bit. I have always loved the use of darkness and shadow in that film that at least visually differentiates the film from the others.
