Editor's Notes

Note

Deaf Crocodile's 4K of a 1948 Czech paranoid thriller about a chemist's dreamlike search for his stolen nuclear formula. The Dolby Vision transfer comes from a new 4K restoration of the original camera negative with missing elements filled from a duplicate positive. Nobody else is doing catalog work like this on early Eastern European cinema.
