I have a print of the Jerry Lewis film, The Geisha Boy. Its on 3X600ft, very full to the brim reels. Color is OK, that is, it has good greens, blues ect., but the faces are are pinkish, not perfect facial tones, hence 80 percent color, but from what I have seen of this feature, that seems to be the par for the course. Print quality is pretty good. It's taken from a viacom negative. Print is nearly scratchless.
Note I will watch it tomorrow to verify that. I say nearly scratchless as it might have a scratch and |I wouldn't want to give an incorrect description, I know for a fact no green ones, but I don't think it has any scratches period.
This is one of those ironic prints where the nightime scenes tend to have better color as, usually when there is any kind of fade, it affects the dark scenes first instead of the daytime scenes.
Sound is a good booming mono.
I honestly do not know what I should charge for this feature, as | know that this title is fairly rare. Please e/mail me if you are interested.

Guys, calm down.
I have not betrayed the fraternal brotherhood of price demanding ...
I just don't know what kind of price to put on it. If I put on there as much as I would like to get, people will say, "Outrageous". However, if I put a low low price on it, my fellow members will say, "hee hee, Osi doesn't know what he has! I'll take it!"
Therefore ...
It's in great shape, slight color loss, and a rarity. Lets see, 125.00 as a price. OK. Now, well, work from there.
(Now I can just hear it ... Ach! Unrealistic price, ect. ect.)

Come on now, Osi.
You're not a collecting novice.
You put up the price you want to get for the print based on your experience of what it's value is.
What other people think is neither here nor there.
You can always tag "or best offer" on to your price if it makes you feel better.
The forum agreed that a price must be shown and for you to then, within just a few days, just list a film for sale without a price just makes you look silly. Surely, you can see that, old chap.
