Lots of people talk as if they remember the cut as matching; I remember
noticing on my first viewing of the film that it wasn't, and being a bit
annoyed at Kubrick (and later, him and whoever the editor was).
Ah well, the limitations of the technology of the time. For all I know
the reissue will use straightforward digital tech to *make* a match
happen.

I find myself not following this "cf." very well. Can someone explain it
