2.35:1?
Can anyone actually confirm or refute that this was 2.35:1 in its original OAR?
Did anyone see this when it screened at the Jacob Burns Film Center (Pleasantville, NY) back in 2001/2002?
I strongly suspect that the 2.35:1 info here is erroneous. In the very clean-looking full-frame version of this that's streaming on Amazon Instant (and has previously streamed on Netflix), the opening and tail-end Paramount (Gulf+Western) logo is the one used on full-frame 1.37:1 (open matte) prints, and not the most tightly cropped one found on 'scope prints, and the closing credits appear mindful of 1.85:1 theatrical matting. Nothing about the film or any of its compositions suggests that it was shot in 2.35:1.
Anyone know the OAR firsthand?
