...The movie flows so much more smoothly now, and the included bits improve the film in major ways. All those establishing shots really add to the vibe of the film, and the inserts are great, too - -my favorite being the closeup of the bite marks on Lucy's throat, taken from the Spanish version.


Thanks. Credit where it's due, the idea of including the bite marks was Ted Newsom's. 

...Also it needs to be stated that Clark's edits are seamless and professionally done; a first-time viewer of the film would never know that pieces of it had been cobbled from another movie.


I should probably mention here that earlier viewers may not have found my edits quite as seamless. My latest cut uses new software and I went ahead and dubbed the hiss from the Browning version over the Melford segments, which I must admit makes for a less intrusive feel to the inserts--though it still seems odd to me to "restore" a film by degrading some of the source material.
