Well, according to the Digital Bits on their main page, Take the Money & Run is going to be pan & scan.

Those horror films are the Midnite Movies in August!!! What a disappointment

Most looking forward to

Electra Glide in Blue

But who knows if they'll be pan & scan or OAR.

I highly doubt this is everything for those months, there will probably be a lot more.

I wonder if MGM will fix the audio goof in The Night Stalker. For those who don't know about this, in the scene at the pool Kolchak gets paged for a telephone call. When Anchor Bay remastered the film, the page gets droppped, so you're left with him suddenly looking up, and then going to answer the phone!

Is this the Woody Allen Take The Money & Run? I have an 1999 Anchor Bay disc of this. It has a 1.66:1 (non-anamorphic) OAR presentation. Is this disc out of print?

Yes, it's out of print. It was licensed to Anchor Bay from Disney/ABC. It had a 1.66:1 non-anamorphic transfer and a fullframe transfer.

Apparently the same old fullframe transfer is now being licensed to MGM.

don't blame MGM... blame Disney!
