Instead of network TV, I put in the Criterion enhanced version of SPARTACUS. Thoroughly enjoyed the film, and it looked very nice indeed though I found the Technicolor rather variable throughout. The scenes with Kirk Douglas and Jean Simmons after they're reunited and also later on when she tells him she's pregnant had that usual deep saturation Technicolor is known for. Elsewhere, the color (flesh tones especially) seemed sometimes a bit washed out.
Enjoyed hearing Alex North's score very expansive in Dolby 5.1 sound, and oh, boy did John Gavin have a gorgeous body in that spa scene. I had to repeat certain sections of that to see that again. I know he showed his fine upper body in the first scene in PSYCHO, too, but this was in color and Super Panavision 70!
