Cut from LA
Times June 16, 1996, ed |
Issue 45
- June 1996 |
Los Angeles Times recently reported about the upcoming re-release of
"Vertigo", filmed in VistaVsion, in September 1996. The film is currentl in
the caring hands of Mr Robert A. Harris and he says about "Vertigo";
"What
we are doing here is very unique. We are creating a new preservation
negative in 65mm from the original large format elements. But instead of
reduction printing in 35mm, we are transferring to 70mm. This has never been
done before. We tested 15 months before we even approached Universal. Now we
are half way through the restoration. We are calling it Super VistaVision
70. We have the color negative and the black and white separations, neither
of which are just printable. The camera negative is faded, the opticals were
not that great, the focus is soft and too contrasty and 1300 feet of rear
projection process shots contributed to the deterioration. We discovered
Bernard Herrmann’s original music tracks in a Paramount vault, and they had
turned to vinegar.
Studios are doing preservation of their 35mm films on a
daily basis, but they are not doing the large format films. Time is running
out because the color on these films is fading and the safety stocks are
turning to vinegar. It is just coming out now that in all probability -
unless there is some minor miracle - "Around the World in 80 Days" will
officially become the first Academy Award winning best picture to be lost
this year. The original Todd-AO 30 frames per second version is gone".
"Vertigo" will open as early as in September 1996 at American Film Institute
benefit screenings in New York and Los Angeles. Universal is also planning a
limited theatrical release.
