I have been wondering this for a while. If such print still existed it could become a valuable piece to recreate the US version of the film; which seems to be a much desired item for fans. _________________

| ...Why would someone need to do that? 35mm Technicolor prints of the American cut still exist. |

The American version is doomed unless Classic Media decides to actually restore it.(which will never happen) _________________ "More human than human is our motto."

Dirt and ******* loads of scratches.
Other then different edits I see no reason to care for it. A workprint is never made to be seen outside of the editing department.

That print is useless. You can't polish a turd. Rodan prints are still kicking around the circle. CM just didn't find the effort to track down better prints. |
