Widescreen?
Does Anone know where to find a DVD version of THis movie in Widescreen?
shareThe upcoming two-pack of Old Yeller and Savage Sam has Old Yeller in widescreen, but not Savage Sam... which leads me to assume that perhaps Savage Sam wasn't filmed in a widescreen scope. I know that there were movies back then that actually didn't get filmed in widescreen -- most notably, The Wizard of Oz.
If they were going to put Old Yeller in widescreen, I'm sure they would have put Savage Sam if they could. I think that maybe it was just filmed that way -- in which case, you can actually be proud of it! There's nothing wrong with owning fullscreen if that is the way the director intended it to be.
In which case, it would be another exception to my signature. Which, by the way, applies to one of my posts for the first time ever.
Friends don't let friends buy fullscreen.
Widescreen movies began in 1952 ("The Wizard of Oz" was 13 years previous to this) and really became popular the following year. Many low-budget movies were still filmed full screen and in black and white. Since "Savage Sam" didn't come along until 1963 from the Disney studios and it's in color, the reason it was filmed in full screen and not wide screen is puzzling. That is, unless, you take into consideration that maybe it was originally meant to premier on "The Wonderful World of Disney" tv show and not in the theaters at all. Maybe Disney decided after it was completed to release it to theaters after all.
shareYeah. It was mainly designed as a marketing gimmick to deter people away from staying home and watching TV. No films before 52 were shot in widescreen. A lot of people say THE ROBE was the first Cinemascope film, but technically it was the first one released but the second one shot. The first shot was, I believe, HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE. Since then, many different aspect ratios have been created (ex: 1.66:1 - Super 16 or European Widescreen, 16 X 9 - High Definition, 1.85:1 - Standard Widescreen, 2.35:1 - Anamorphic Widescreen, etc.0
Oh the long and complicated history of film!
STWIKE HIM CENTUWIAN, VERY WUFFLY!
Savage Sam was recently shown on The Hallmark Movie channel in High Definition 16:9
