I was just looking at my advance copy of The Magic Christian, and it is indeed full-screen only--a growing trend with Artisan catalog titles. The image is soft overall, but looks OK. I have no idea what the OAR of the film is, nor could I find the info on the net. Judging from the fact that virtually every scene is composed with the essential imagery in the middle horizontal portion of the screen and that there seems to be an excessive amount of headroom and footroom (is that a word?), I'm guessing that it's open matte throughout. In a quick runthrough and spot-check, I didn't notice any scenes that seemed to be cropped on the sides.
