It's showing right now on TCM, but the print is pan and scan, and it's a pretty bad copy. The color varies from shot to shot, it's dim, it's out of focus and the framing is bad. It must be a very early example of pan and scan. We know TCM does its best to show movies in their original aspect, so it may be there's no available copy in wide-screen.

I noticed the opening and closing credits were in letterbox. Maybe even Warner Bros. can't find a wide-screen copy.

Despite the pan and scan and odd color it was interesting to watch!
shareI, too, noticed what shockingly bad pan and scan this was. In one scene Roger Moore has a conversation with Carroll Baker in which he is on the far right of the screen and we can just see her veil. TCM usually lives up to very high standards, so I agree (and certainly hope!) that this is the best print available.

"You've only known me three days."
"That's when my life began."
I too prefer the wide screen to P&P and this recent presentation on TCM did not look as well as it could. I would trust that TCM's policy of "uncut" refers to video width as well as programming content and, therefore, must not have a WS print as stated above. Interestingly, the poster on the top of the IMDB page for this movie is also P&P.
shareDon't you mean P&S (for Pan and Scan) and not P&P?
