Restoration Notes: This isn't a restoration per se. I mean, I don't have the original film negatives on which I have worked to remove all the faults. I downloaded an .iso of the complete DVD first and hardcoded the subs, which was followed by a lot of editing work on many minute details. The final export file (in .mov, because that's how you get the best results) was around 20 GB. Uploading this also took a lot of time...

Basically, it was a lot of work, more than I am used to for this channel because till now I have only been acquiring files from "sources" and uploading them as they are. But I thought this masterpiece by the late maverick is worth putting that much work on. Thanks a lot for watching, please leave a like and subscribe to my channel and comment on what films I should work on next.
