Mary Tyler Moore Open/Close (1971)/ Viacom Enterprises "V" (1976) | 16mm

From "Feeb".
Thanks to Travis Butler for sending this film to me to transfer.

This was fantastic.. I am right back in the seventies, sitting on floor watching Mary Tyler Moore. Even with the number count down. TV was better then. So much cleaner .

Awesome to see an old print. Hopefully you'll be able to post more MTM open/close clips from film transfer.

This isn't my print. I transferred this print for somebody. I had to abandon completing the editing project because at the time, I had to transfer audio separately, and it was a nightmare. In the first 5 minutes alone, I had made over 90 edits. No way I could complete the rest.

That's quite a gap between the MTM and Viacom logos. Looks like some of the end leader actually showed up before the Viacom logo appeared

It looks great! I don't remember seeing the end credits with the dialogue on the DVD version!

Looks like this print had been ran to death, and the time from MTM to the VOD suggests that the film must had broken there quite a few times. Very nice!

God, this print is shaky!

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

Sorry for the late reply, but the cause of the shakiness was the fault of that scanner I had. The sensors that sense the perforations weren’t that great, and I believe the film stock this film was printed on had clear edges. For older machines like the Retro 16 Pro I had, clear film was the hardest to scan because the film would shake a bit and some frames would even jump.

Sooooooo…Mary Richards predicted the appearance of “Pheebs” Buffay by about 23 years! (ha ha ha)
