Restoration details

Restoration involved repairing general film handling and processing damage, including splice marks, slight color fading or shifts, and a light leak and splice damage in an insert shot. The production was primarily captured in single takes across multiple cameras for each set piece, with the film elements spliced together for broadcast. While the original splice work was generally solid for the time, some elements suffered edge damage, and with no alternate takes available, these were used in the final cut. Digital restoration with PFClean provided the opportunity to correct issues that could not be addressed during the original 1982 production.
