Notes area
Physical condition
A small portion of the film (at 37'06 to 37'08) appears to have been torn out on the perforated side. This missing portion extends from the edge of the image to the edge of the film. To compensate, a portion of black leader has been tape spliced in to fill in the missing area. Transfer from original was good overall; some mild fading as well as physical damage - dirt and scratches. Audio is good.
