Aspect Ratio???
I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out the correct aspect ratio of this movie. Being a big Sidney Lumet fan, I really want to watch it, but I won't watch it if it's not in its original aspect ratio.
According to imdb, the aspect ratio is 1.85:1 - which I had no reason to doubt until I rented the dvd - quite an old release - which was fullscreen. The dvd gave me mixed messages - it said on the back, "formatted to fit your screen", and indeed it appeared to me as if the sides had been cut off as the framing of the shots just seemed wrong. Yet, the dvd also said it was presented in fullscreen, "preserving the 1.33:1 aspect ratio of the original motion picture".
So, either the DVD is wrong or imdb is. Normally I would think imdb was wrong, but the full screen version really didn't look right.
Help?
