I love that ad, thanks Doug!
Would it be possible to get a higher-resolution copy for the widescreen article?

Sorry Bob. I don't have the original ad so can't provide anything better this time.Bob Furmanek said:I love that ad, thanks Doug!

Even Criterion had this down as widescreen all the way back in 2001, when they released their DVD. Albeit, it was 1.78:1 rather than the slightly wider 2:1. If a Blu-ray is coming it will most likely be from them, and since they got it right with Magnificent Obsession they'll probably take the opportunity to correct their earlier mistake.Keith Cobby said:What should the AR be and does anyone know if a blu-ray is imminent?

I don't believe the aspect ratio of The Wild One has been discussed yet, at least not in this thread. I just watched the Sony Blu-ray (imported region-free from Europe). It is 1.33:1. Now I know the film was released in December of 1953 and was most likely cropped to widescreen in many theaters. The opening titles were slightly moved up so that they weren't exactly centered, probably to accommodate a crop with minimal head-clipping. The 1.33:1 framing looked correct in that there was no space above the actors' heads to speak of. My question is, when did principal photography occur on this film?
Good. Then it is safe to say that this movie was not intended for widescreen. I suspected as much.Robert Crawford said:February 12th to March 17th, 1953.
