Julian: Shot by Dick Lieterman.. B&W neg, quite clearly, probably Kodak Double-X. The prints would have suffered generation loss because B&W neg would go to a master positive, then a dupe neg, then a print. DuArt was Wiseman’s usual lab, but don’t know who would have made newer prints. I don’t think it was ever blown up to 35mm. Ask Fred.
B&W reversal saves a geeration, going to an interneg and then a print. Of course these days one would scan it and do a film out to a neg — saves a generation if you are shooting negative.
