Was this movie really made in widescreen?

The IMDB DVD Details page says 1.85 widescreen. The Netflix page says 1.85 widescreen, but when I got it, it was full screen.

I called my local video store. They can order it, but they can't say whether it will be widescreen or full screen when it arrives.

Was the film shot in widescreen? Does a widescreen DVD exist?

The film was shot in 16mm. For theaters it was blown up to 35mm (blown up and necessarily cropped) thereby creating a "wide screen" image. For the DVD, the original full 16mm frame image is used.
