- I have no standard to compare with, having never seen the film theatrically.
- But I've never met a Panavision film that didn't suffer on video.
- The opening & closing credits are letterboxed at about a 2.15:1 ratio.
-
- The price has recently been reduced to $25. That may mean they are
- clearing stock to make way for its eventual remastering in letterboxed
- form. If you like the movie, you might consider picking it up at this
- price. It's remastering could take a month or years. I've heard
- nothing definitive about Warner's plans for this title.
