Interesting. I will also note that the bootlegs I've seen sourced from Eastmancolor prints (mthr, PS78) don't seem to have a blue tint like that. At least not that severe.

Here's the same frames in the first capture of PS78, stretched out to look more correct:

That bootleg doesn't tell the whole story of the original colors, nor would any video transfer done in the late 70s, but it does show a version that doesn't look as *blue* as your IB references. Mike weighed in last time this issue was brought up, maybe he can give his thoughts this time too.

These new frames do help me calibrate the colors on my new monitor, though. I think I'd dialed the green gamma down a couple points *too* much, because those blues were starting to look purple.
