Apparently this was Scorsese's personal print, which is the only decent 35mm available. It was a bit choppy at points, but other than that immaculate. The movie itself is an old favorite of mine and certainly holds up. I especially like the line about needing to put on a show to make Shanghai live up to its reputation for the tourists. I'd forgotten how funny it is too. And Jesus, Gene Tierney is beyond belief. Ona Munson and Walter Huston perform their socks off.
