I have a question: why do some scenes have this blue-violet flicker over the image?
Is that part of the print, or is that from the scan? Just curious.
That is part of the print. There is some kind of damage to the second half of reel 2 from the bar gunfight to the middle of the Cario sequence. It could have happened when the print was made at the lab, or the reel could have had something spilled on it. The plan is to replace that entire section if and when we are able to scan a second print.
It should actually be possible to correct the blue-violet flicker with the color matching algorithm using neighbouring frames:
