The Universal's are far better than Columbia's Mad Magician print.  There are
a few minor misconvergances in all of them.  The best I've seen is the 
anaglyph 3-Stooge shorts.  Just enough color to give excellent depth and a
mild pleasing sepia tone (almost B & W!) and almost no misconvergance.  Unless
you've seen a twin-strip of these films, it's hard to tell how much of the
problems were in the original photography and how much were in the sloppy
anaglyph printing...
