Notes:This print goes black after the end credits (100:03), but you can listen to the final score, which is played completely to its end for about one minute.
The opening and closing credits are presented in an extreme "windowboxed" format. The picture was scaled down, and placed in the middle of the screen. Synapse has confirmed, that the credits were indeed outside the NTSC title-safe area on the master they got, so they windowboxed and moved them in so that the credits would be visible on most televisions. -
