Is the original wide-screen version on DVD?

Does anyone know if this film is yet available on DVD in anamorphic wide-screen?
I rather enjoyed watching this film on the Fox Movie Channel. It was a real guilty pleasure, like eating a chocolate honey truffle. It's a real time capsule of European and British culture in 1970, fairly realistic, with a lovely but unconvincing love story, only made watchable by the delectable charms of beautiful Genevieve Gilles and the suave talents of Curt Jurgens. The lead actor, young Brit Michael Crawford is not the best choice for the role, which would have been perfect for someone like Ryan O'Neal. Crawford is just too much of a silly joy-boy to be taken seriously as a man to have the charisma to enchant a beautiful young wealthy French baroness.

Why bother? This flick would suck twice as much in widescreen.

I enjoy it more for the scenery and classic cars than the story or the acting. It's a real time capsule of modern Europe as it was in 1970.

I saw it back in 1970 and I do not think it was in wide-screen. At least not 2.35:1 for sure.
