Bill, I would say the print is very sharp, but because it is on such a gigantic reel, I can only watch the first twenty or thirty feet on my projector. I would say the print is getting a little warmish, but in the very beginning, there are highlights from the other CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED films, including one of two ships on the high seas and the ocean is still blue - I do not believe it is LPP, though, by any means, because as I say, the colors are starting to fade. It still looks to be very watchable, though. I'm sorry I couldn't take any screen shots, but my good digital camera is not working right now (and my cheap digital camera wouldn't work for screen shots). Bill, if you are interested in the print, I will throw in the shipping costs. Let me know and thanks for your interest.
