ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVS,,WISH A WIDESCREEN RELEASE WAS OUT,,
A GREAT FILM WISH A WIDESCREEN,RELEASE WAS ISSUED,,,,,,,,,,,LIZA IS FUNNY AND BURT IS HIS USUAL GOOD BUDDY SELF,,LOVE THIS FILM,,
shareI love it too dude but I doubt it was even filmed in widescreen.
shareIT WOULD HAVE TO BE BUD,,,IT WAS IN THE THEATER ALL THEATRICAL MOVIES ARE WIDESCREEN SHOT,,,I THINK I AM RIGHT
shareDamn! If only I wasn't still in infant school I may have been able to catch it ;)
Not all theatre films are widescreen. The old silent films were shown in movie theatres and they're not widescreen.
older classics were in pan/scan but i thought all films after 1970s were widescreen,,,,maybe an exception,,,
shareYeah it seems that most stuff after the 50s was widescreen so yes we'll have to buy the widescreen version of this if/when it comes out :p
shareOlder classics were not in "pan and scan" -- they were just filmed in the more square format (16:9) that happens to be similar to the traditional TV set. There was no panning and scanning because the image fit the whole frame.
sharethanks love this movie very under-rated
shareThis isn't one of Burt's best pictures, but all of them are worthwhile, and it's great to see him with Liza Minnelli.
shareI CANNOT HELP IT IT IS HAS BEEN ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVS AND NEXT TO BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS,SHARKEYS MACHINE,DELIVERANCE,SMOKEY BANDIT ARE MY FAV BURT REYNOLDS MOVIES,
shareYes, "Whorehouse," "Deliverance" and "Boogie Nights" are my three favorite Burt movies. I wish he'd work with Dolly Parton again!
shareme too,,love her
shareThe German DVD release is anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1.
It has the English audio track too (no subtitle tracks though).
The picture quality is much nicer than the US DVD too.
I have just watched it tonight after ordering from Amazon.de for a bargain 7 Euro's (0.99 for the disk 6 Euro foreign postage)
