Do you know if the "man on The Eiffel Tower" about to be released by Kino has got the colour (Annscolor) more or less right?
The box says "Restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive," so I believe the color should be fixed. Because of the film that was used, there was no original negative, so I think this release should be the best version out there that we can expect.
That's good news, then! I've heard about the UCLA restored version and I've heard good thingsl, so definitely I'll try to get a copy as soon as budget allows!
Incidentally, having seen the film, I can see it is much better -and interesting- than I expected... It is true that I saw it with no expectations at all, LOL: not a masterwork, but with some good bits.
Since UCLA has been mentioned, I've also heard that the best copy of The Night of the Hunter was the one they restored: I hope that the recently announced Special Collectors' DVD uses it as a source
I love Terrence Mallick.
I read he was doing something with Mel Gibson.
Gotta see The New World Director's Cut.
