"Man of the House" (w/TLJ, cheerleaders): Full Frame taken from Super35?


Could anyone do me the service of checking their dvd of this guilty pleasure to see if the Full Frame transfer was extracted from a Super35 negative?

I have an opportunity to watch this full-frame and just want to know what I'll be missing.

Things to look for: opened up matte lines on the top and bottom of the screen (more visual information), with only marginal cropping on the sides. ...This would suggest a Super35 negative.

...Whereas serious cropping on the sides with no vertical frame gains would suggest a panavision, pan and scan travesty. As I understand it, at any rate... I guess there might be panning and scanning in full-frame transfers made for Super35 negatives, but there's often less, since directors tend to compose their shots for both formats.


At any rate, I find myself guffawing over such an in-depth discussion on this subject spurred by, "Man of the House".


Well, thanks for checking this out for me!
