General Note
"The UCLA Film & Television Archive completed its initial restoration of 'Becky Sharp' in 1984. Since then, further improvements have been made, including a 2007 sound upgrade with funding provided by The Film Foundation and laboratory services provided by Audio Mechanics and DJ Audio. In 2017 the Paramount Archives, using the best of almost 50 reels of 35mm film including the original surviving Technicolor 3-strip negatives, 3-strip positives, and prints, preserved this title in 4K at Technicolor Creative Services. Advanced digital tools were used to align the separation elements and clean the image. Sound preservation work was done at Deluxe Audio"--Opening frames.
