Viewing Notes
It was great to see this again on 35mm! First time I saw this film was in my freshmen college film history class in 1986, which is where I first saw my wife, who was also taking the class.
This was a show print of the Walter Murch re-edited version released in 1998 (from Orson Welles’ notes from his famous 58 page letter to the studio after he saw the studio edited version) and in immaculate condition.
