Finally had a chance to see this a few days ago. Do the original prints from 1968 still exist? The second half was a considerably better presentation than the first half. I can only guess that my theatre managed to destroy the first half and were showing an original from 1968 and then switching to the rerelease for the second half and hoping the audience wouldn't notice. There's no way that a film print could get so scratched up in the short time that it has been showing. But in saying that, it was still an unforgettable experience. The theatre erupted in a round of applause at the end
Edit: Of course I've seen this digitally before this

Just found out they are showing this in 70mm in Oslo in August. Since I have yet to experience the format and the movie, I feel like this is an opportunity I can't miss out on.

Hopefully you can see it! I saw it in 70mm a few weeks ago and it was an amazing experience.
