KNIGHTS: DIRECTORS CUT

Finished mastering KNIGHTS but replace main title with the title I originally had for the film before it was changed by Kings Road. We mastered this director's cut from a full frame 16 x 9 picture on a Beta Sp tape. This was my check copy back in 1992 of the sound mix. I remember the day I left with the tape because I had a lot of concerns about the mix because Tony Riparetti and I had a constant running argument with Kings Road CEO Steve Friedman. I mean screaming matches as we mixed. It was also my first film edited digitally on a system using laser discs. So I had a lot of concerns and misgivings. I wanted to see the picture with the mix to see if I could live with the film. Hence that's the source. I changed the main title to my original title for the film. Along with a detailed backstory we were never permitted to shoot. Here's the terrific DVD cover courtesy of Glenn Cochrane. At this point standard Def DVD's only will be available of this director's cut. The commentary is really informative I think. - Albert.
