Chimes at Midnight (Orson Welles, 1965)

Nice! How was the sound?

FWIW, I looked at that YouTube link Drucker posted (thanks!), and there are a few spots in the ADR with synch issues, but in general it sounds like it was cleaned up. The giveaway was a few spots where there was rumbling present - no high-end hiss or surface noise, but the low or mid-range rumble is still present. I take it the noise was too difficult to wipe clean. (Ever listen to CD's of old 78 transfers that have been mostly NoNoised? It's almost similar to that - most of the track will be clean but you hear that rumble of surface noise pop up.)

A new 4k restoration of Chimes will be playing at Film Forum in early January. Hopefully this looks better than the restoration that played last year (with reel change circles and a very grey look!) and will be the basis for a home video release.
