Has anyone bought the British release of "The Rocketeer"? Is it 16:9? And is the quality decent?

Amazon UK only lists it as widescreen.

Don't tug on that, you never know what it might be attached to...

I haven't seen the British R2 release but you might also want to check out the Australian PAL R4 release, which I have and which is anamorphic. Still not great quality, but far better than the horrible U.S. non-anamorphic release.

All three releases are compared here www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=305
And the R2 and R4 releases are rated as a draw.

R2 and R4 PAL DVDs are almost always the same DVD, just re-badged with a different cover and disc art. Go for whichever is cheaper (usually the R4 unless the R2 is on sale).
