Robert Harris provides an overview of the recent 4k digital restoration of
the "Godfather" films.
IMO, the examples shown in the AC article aren't particularly
informative or representative, as all are examples of defective
negative assembly splices.

Upon closer examination, the first example shows a partial negative
tear, along with the defective splice.
The tear appears to have started at the edge, where the cement bond had
failed, and certainly supports the assertion that running this negative
through a pin-registered mechanism would not be a good idea.

Nearly all the 35mm prints for the original film and Part 2 were
Technicolor Dye-transfer so how come
the original neg (particularly for the first film) was in such poor
condition?

There's no reason why the damage couldn't have been incurred in the
past thirty years (has it really been that long?) by other labs
handling the neg over the years AFTER Tech shut their dye-transfer lab
down, or even by the studio's poor handling of the negs themselves.
I've seen and heard of some shockingly unprofessional things happening
in very reputable labs.

Interesting how new prints will have mono optical tracks along with Dolby
Digital & DTS carrying the stereo remix. |

I think it's a great idea. Like when a DVD offers a cleaned up original
mono track along with the bogus stereo tracks created decades later.
Agreed--this is a very clever idea and one which I wish were more common
with restorations for which multichannel remixes of mono tracks are made.
The Columbia Harold Lloyd retrospective that was in circulation a year or
two ago had full silent aperture prints with the score on an SRD track, which
seems similarly clever.
I hope that they also make available DTS disks with the original mono
track.

Westrex's stereo variable-area system, if driven with two identical
channels, produces a dual-bilateral mono track.
The DTS timecode is shot at the same time as the stereo variable-area track.
