So I've noticed that my digest print of "Airplane" seems a little faded.
Does anyone here have the feature that has all its colors intact? Just curious.

Hey Alan - My Airplane print has perfect color... but I ordered it from the UK so it may be a print done overseas... which is often better color-wise.

My digest is definitely pink. Was the feature by Marketing?

My Airplane! feature (Marketing) still looks pretty good.

Darn! I drew the short straw! [Frown]

But at least I know good prints of this title exist.
Thanks all!

My feature length Airplane! has good color: not perfect, but good.

We've only watched it once so far, but my son and I both got the impression the two Jive scenes aren't there.

Did we both go to the 'fridge at the exact wrong time(s) or has anybody else (not) noticed this?

No Mrs.Cleaver? That's one of the best parts and it's not in the 3 parter.

Is the audio optical or magnetic on these?

Most of the marketing full features have either faded or are fading much faster than the 3 x 400 footer. (unfortunately).

Brian is probably right. Quite a few of the Marketing prints overseas were struck (thankfully) on low fade film stock, in most cases, that was agfa.
