Nightmare Alley: 2 lines lineage ×1 industry ×1

  1. industry (box-office flop, future reassessment): Nightmare Alley → Sorcerer. Both bombed on release, Sorcerer under the summer of Star Wars, and Nightmare Alley will be reassessed the same way.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: 2 lines programming ×1 contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Sorcerer → Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sorcerer, The Abyss and The Thing feel as difficult as they were to make; Raiders feels light despite a brutal shoot.
    “It is wild to me that Raiders in particular does not have that kind of weight to it.”

William Friedkin: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (color fix): Sorcerer → William Friedkin. If Friedkin were alive and the technology could restore the red-shifted print to the other reels' look, the speaker would be fine with it.
