I have a scored (Van Beuren), does anyone have dark titles on their print? - The picture is fine, only the intro is a bit dark, found this with The Adventurer slightly as well - Any help appreciated, Shorty

Mine does not have the soundtrack, but it is the restored Blackhawk version from 1975, which is what I think you have. The titles are fine -- I just watched this within the last week.

I have a question about EASY STREET -- again the 1975 Blackhawk restoration. My print seems a bit off -- sharpness is just a bit off. It is like that during the opening titles, so I probably got a bad printing. How is yours on that title?

I have a FilmOffice print of Easy Street with music soundtrack. This print is unbelievable in terms of quality. It's sharp and has a wonderful looking contrast along with that this is an optical sound print and probably one of the best optical tracks I have ever heard on super 8.

Kev.

No, the Blackhawk-scored (Van Beuren) EASY STREET is clear as air, I suppose the vagabond and adventurers suffered from a bit of chemical compository at the lab, though otherwise sharp - Just seemed a bit dark at the outset - Thanks for the help on this - Shorty

I actualy have the 400 foot sound version of this with an Optical sound track, if anyone is interested in going to be putting this on ebay soon.
