DO YOU KNOW IF ITS FILMED IN WIDESCREEN,CAN THEY MADE IT TO FULLSCREEN?
shareIt was filmed in VistaVision, so it's widescreen but not very wide. The letterbox bars at the top and botton are quite narrow and not really noticeable.
(1) Yes, they shot 'The Desperate Hours' in widescreen (um, they kinda stopped using the 1.33:1 TV screen size for movies 50 years ago), and yes, the DVD itself is also in widescreen, as it should be.
(2) When in doubt about any film's actual format, click on ANY movie's 'Technical Specifications' link at its own IMDb.page. For the specific example of 'The Desperate Hours,' Paramount's VistaVision process was used. Paramount itself preferred a 1.85:1 aspect ratio when this very adaptable format was utilized when shooting feature films. If you have to ask what "aspect ratio" means, well, that's part of the reason you seem to prefer full frame over widescreen in the first place. Therefore...

When it comes to 'The Desperate Hours,' as others have previously pointed out, this wasn't a terribly 'wide' motion picture (so to speak) as it was not shot in a 2.35:1 anamorphic format like CinemaScope or Panavision.
(4) If after all of this you STILL want to see your movies at home in the pan-n-scan version, well, there's really no hope for you, is there. Good luck! (I fear you may need it!)
