Anyone know this film's Aspect Ratio?
IMDB doesn't list any (unusual). This grand epic would greatly benefit from a widescreen perspective, if it was, in fact, shot in widescreen. TCM always plays it in full screen, though it does do that with other widescreen movies, like "Attack." Cinemascope came into being in 1953 with The Robe. But this was Republic Pictures, I believe, and maybe they didn't have the finances to support widescreen.
