The Girl Who Stole The Eiffel Tower and Gabrielle serving as his muse, Richard endeavors to produce a script in the time remaining. With Richard and Gabrielle assuming the leading roles in the unwritten screenplay, the audience watches the story unfold as he imagines it, even backtracking when story revisions are required. The film has one inspired running gag featuring an uncredited Tony Curtis, who is at his scene stealing best. Other uncredited cameos include Marlene Dietrich, Mel Ferrer and Frank Sinatra who makes a vocal appearance on the soundtrack. This presentation is very good, but alas, the colors don't leap at you the same way they do when in the presence of a genuine IB Technicolor print.
Shots involving optical fades and other transitions appear softer and display some noticeable grain.
In general, colors are very appealing and reproduce with solid looking hues. Some colors appear more vibrant than others, although flesh tones always appear fairly natural. Black are pretty accurate and shadow detail is decent by today's standards. The film element is pretty clean, with relatively minor blemishes being the only real reminder of age. Digital compression artifacts remain out of sight during the presentation.
