Captain America digest (Scope/Sereo)

The following is a brief review of the quality of this new digest. The film has a stereo sound track that I can't review because of problems with my stereo receiver; the sound through my projector receiver, however, sounded just fine.

The editing of this digest is very good. I have never seen the full lenghth movie so I can say with all honesty that the digest has an understandable comprehensive story line that is enjoyable for those, like myself, who have not seen the movie.

The color in the digest is typical of a lot of the films coming from the German lab. There is a slight greenish tint. It is not at all distracting and all of the other colors do come out very well. The print quality is very sharp...Very Sharp.

I am very picky and reserve an A+ rating for those rare one in a thousand prints that look so perfect you think that you are watching a pristine 35mm print. That being said, I would give the print quality an A which is giving this film very high marks.

I am very statisfied with the purchase and recommend it highly.

The digest is well over 600' so would not fit on a 600' reel. It comes split on two 400' reels.

I will write a more detailed review in the near future that will appear in "The Reel Image"

Thanks Guy, that's very encouraging. It really is quite something that this is well-edited to actually tell the story. I don't think that has been attempted since Derann's 1980s releases!

If the greenish tint is noticeable and it obviously is since you have never seen the full length feature, I would say its slightly distracting since you were able to notice it. I am guessing its because the acetate stock is slightly yellowish and the Lab has to compensate for it. A shame that its there but fortunately its slight. Are editing splices visible? Is the Paramount Logo there?

This is Steve Osborne's release (The Reel Image). You need to subscribe to his magazine and film lists. He has many new releases. The Reel Image, 2520 Blackhawk Rd. Kettering, Ohio 45420. 937-296 9036.

As for me, I noticed no green tint. A really good job all around. I did not see the feature and for me there were a couple of things that were not explained clearly in the digest. Steve is also selling a small reel of the ending credit sequence and the preview of the AVENGERS ..which was attached to the original Capt.A. feature.

Sorry....have a lousy camera that won't do anything with projected images. I'm bringing my print to Syracuse Cinefest this weekend and will happily screen some of it for anyone who wants to see it.

Will be nice Brian to put puctures to all the words about this and see some images. But most of all we must thank Mr Osbourne for his great investment making this all happen.
What-a-guy!
