King John (S)
1899 · Movie · 2 min. · United States
The 35mm positive print of King John (1899) was nearly 100 years old when restored and maintains a broad range of graytones and relatively sharp detail, with some emulsion decomposition late in the film in the right side of the frame. Moderate frame jitters in the print causes several blurred video still frames, which are not noticed as such during normal playback. In his book The British Film Catalog: 1895-1985, Denis Gifford lists different actors and character names for the supporting players than those credited on the DVD.
