aspect ratio



hey party people,
i saw this flick for the first time on TCM the other night. i thought it odd that it was presented in full screen considering the year of release and all. the turner folks are usually pretty good at showing a film in it's original format. i'm wondering if anyone knows what the original specs are. thanks.




what a bunch of sissies, this is supposed to be a gun club not a blasted singing society.

I'm watching 'The Front Page' right this minute on TCM. It's still full screen. ?

It's on In Demand now, fullscreen. Several times I mentally screamed "Pan, dammit, PAN OVER!"

The original aspect ratio was 2.35:1...there is a universal studios release dvd in that format as well.

The Day Of The Dead

I have a DVD of the movie, and it's in widescreen on there.
