Preliminary impression
Good
- original screen aspect ratio maintained - although incorrectly framed
- 16x9 enhanced anamorphic
- beautifully cinematography, looks excellent in this DVD carination
Bad
- incorrectly framed video - 2.35:1 compressed to a 2.55:1 anamorphic
frame making all character look fat. Only widescreen TVs will be able
to stretch the video to the correct aspect ratio.
- no real extras
