Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 10-18-2003 03:29 PM                        This movie was shot in 1:1.75 , an aspect ratio still sometimes used in French films. Maybe it was cropped to 1:1.85 to make it more compatible with the US market. But I can tell you when it played in Germany, many people thought it was 1:1.85 and they had a really hard time making the frame fit with the subtitles!  |  IP: Logged Tao Yue Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Princeton, NJ Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-19-2003 04:05 PM                        1.66, you mean ("European widescreen"). Hard-matted except for credits. 1.75 is Disney animation, 1.85 is "American widescreen." With exceptions all over the place, of course.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 10-19-2003 04:37 PM                        No, I meant 1:1.75 . Still sometimes used in France. Interestingly, I once ran Vietnamese prints from the 80s and 90s which were all in this format. The leaders all had French markings on them - apparently a rudiment of the time when Vietnam was a French colony.  |  IP: Logged
