Master - Pro-Shot
FORMAT: M4V
CAST:
Patti LuPone (Norma Desmond), Kevin Anderson (Joe Gillis), Michael Bauer (Max von Mayerling), Meredith Braun (Betty Schaeffer)
NOTES:
It's a proshot. But it's a very high generation proshot with a massive amount of generation loss and distortion in the picture. The audio's still OK but not great. Despite stabilisation and colour rebalancing, this still is painful to actually look at if you have any kind of light sensitivity. Act two is better at times, and falls into complete and total dropouts at others. Note: There are three versions in circulation. The first one (Screenshots 1-3) is the one described above. The second one (Screenshots 4-6) is a 2nd generation copy and much better in quality. The third one is the original quality and 1st generation copy, leaked by the director and often NFT.

First Preview! Video runs for 1h 33mins. Includes the cut bit where Patti LuPone pretends to be Charlie Chaplin in "The Lady's Paying". Starts from "Hi there Myron" in the Let's have lunch song. Includes most of the songs important to the show. Offers a really good look of the show before all the changes were made. Patti's massive headdress for the finale. Most importantly the sets for example, Sheldrake's office which was later scaled down for the Los Angeles production and Betty's office. A lot of gen loss and audio sometimes a bit fuzzy. C+

CAST:

NOTES:
By far one of the best video of the original productions of Sunset Boulevard. Camera is very stable and recorded from the stalls, I believe. A range of wide-shots, closeups and mediums. Suffered generation loss, colors are weird, soundboard audio. Joe is played by Glyn Kerslake (u/s), NOT John Barrowman.
