Author Topic: Format of 'The Right Stuff' (1983)? George May Film Handler Posts: 60 From: Bath, United Kingdom Registered: Nov 2001 posted 05-07-2002 04:11 AM                        I'm planning a special outdoor screening of Philip Kaufman's 1983 film 'The Right Stuff. Warners, the UK distributor assures me it's in 'Scope, though the IMDB tells me it's in normal 1:1.85 widescreen. (http://uk.imdb.com/Technical?0086197) and that's my memory too from when I showed it years ago. I need to know for cetain, as the distance at which I set up the scaffolding tower for the projector depends on this vital fact! Can anyone help? Thanks.

There may be some confusion on Warners part in that most of the showings of that film in the states were 70MM and maybe they thought the reduction prints were going to be in Scope. By the way I thought that film was one of the best films of it's time. Unfortunately I understand it did not do much business in the good ol' USofA.
