In the TV presentation of various "movie prints", sometimes I notice
large problems in hue balance and color intensity - often the greens
and blues are "hyped" enough that I can't compensate enough with my
TV's controls (a good Sony TV, too) to produce an even approximately
realistic picture.  Flesh tones are "hard orange".

Generally the older movies are the worst while "pure TV" taped shows
are in excellent color balance.  Any comments?
