BK, I appreciate your concern, but I stand by my statement. Start a discussion on the Forum--you probably won't be ravaged. 
It's not a concern, it's factual, and you, as a responsible reviewer, should add a caveat to your review - to stand by it is hard-headed, frankly. Can I start a discussion on DVD Talk? I didn't know that was possible. I cannot start a discussion on the HTF because I am banned from there by the little despot who runs it. You are blaming the original photography and the printing process of the 60s and that is absolutely incorrect and wrong to do - you, like others, perpetuate stuff you don't really have any expertise on. I'm not criticizing you for it, but I do have some expertise on matters IB Technicolor, having seen most of these films in their original run or owning IB Tech prints of them. You cannot in good conscience call this problem what you're calling it - it's a TRANSFER and element problem, not a problem that has anything to do with what this film originally looked like. I feel passionately about this, and I should think you'd want to at least pass on information in your reviews that has some basis in reality. Sadly, you're doing what most of these guys do, and it's why there's so much wrongheaded misinformation on the DVD sites. Sorry if I'm sounding harsh - I don't mean to, but this is an issue I feel strongly about. It's okay to say what you did about the color - that's not what I'm disputing. It DOES have a yellow/orange bias, which, as you know since you read it here, is exactly what I said when I wrote about the film over the weekend. What I'm taking exception to is the fact that you're saying that's the way Technicolor was, as if this yellow/orange bias was a product of IB Technicolor printing in the 1960s. One look at almost any decent color transfer from that decade (i.e. Gypsy, or Flower Drum Song or Petulia, to name three pretty accurate color transfers from the 60s) and you will find no yellow/orange bias. So, why would you want to make a generalization like that? It's baffling.
