Now on eBay, cracking timed print. Rarely seen or offered title especially on low fade stock.

Looking at those wonderful screenshots, I wonder why they can't do a transfer that looks like that to digital. I just saw this on TV in HD and the colors looked nowhere near that good. What do they do to mess up the color for digital?

That's the problem they like to tinker with the colour and aspect ratio of some films. This is mainly down to the pre-print original master either being damaged or lost.
Never seen another print offered in 16mm not even an IB Tech print. Though seeing this title on 35mm in IB Tech is certainly breath taking.

Yes, they make the color look like a modern day film instead of that gorgeous IB Tech of yesteryear.
Well, did you evah?

Many of those later MGM Lab prints were made from dupe negative materials, hence the higher contrast. Depending on when the neg was made, it might also have faded so that the prints have a yellow hue. Earlie prints were from original materials but the prints themselves have faded.
