No HD for this one yet, but the dvd was still vastly superior to original images. That said, it's matted widescreen crap again, so some images could not be replaced. I added three additional vehicles. |

you know for movies that upper and under part were never meant to be seen often it's just "empty" space with nothing interesting / important that's how the DP/ cameraman framed it accordingly now matted widescreen crap is when movie was made for TV/ and more often TV shows always intended for TV with 4:3 and they cover that up for make it widescreen, like say the recent Baywatch TV remastered where often top of heads are missing -- Last edit: 2024-04-18 21:16:37 |

^ The point of widescreen is to give me more picture than 4:3 TVs, not less. At least, that's what the Hollywood propaganda claimed in the 50s when the studios were afraid television would run them out of business. So, as a rule, any widescreen version that gives me less picture than a 4:3 version is crap, especially when half of a rare vehicle is missing from it as a result.  |

few films were shot in true widescreen using something like the Ultra Panavision 70 and the superior 65mm film an example John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix (1966) or 2001 A Space Odysee as biproduct those movies hardly have any grain !! -- Last edit: 2024-04-18 22:53:17 |

That is the same idea that I'm working on at the /movie_94484-In-the-Heat-of-the-Night.html which it was originally formatted to 4:3 television ratio now re-released to wide format on streaming channels. |

Yes, but fewer still were made with intentional dead space, boom mics, helicopter shadows, and markers for actors at the top and the bottom of the picture as first the TV syndication and later the home video market had to be considered, and these needed proper 4:3 framing until letterboxed presentations became a thing. Only then could the filmmakers stop caring about what was visible outside of their intended frame, and no, I don't care for such 4:3 versions. That said, this movie is not one of them. It believe it was framed for 4:3. Look at the Porsche. The nature of the scene dictates it should be fully visible, and that is likely the case only in the 4:3 version (I say likely, because the original main pic, with all of the Porsche's front and no dead space at the bottom, wasn't fully 4:3 - it was cropped on the left side to 1.28:1, missing the car's rear end). |
