The article of the gif doesn't provide evidence that the film was shot with an intended 1.66:1 theatical aspect ratio. It refers to an upcoming decision on whetehr to shoot the film in 3-D and also whethe to shoot the film in widescreen. We know that they did not go for 3-D but there is nothing in the artcile stating clearly that the film would either be in widescreen or 3-D, it just says that both possibilities were on the table at that time. However, the answer from Network that the film was shot in full frame does not tell you what its origional aspect ratio was and so I would like to see stronger evidence either way. i accpet that it is more likely to be in widescreen due to its producions dates.Bob Furmanek said:Network is scheduled to release DUEL IN THE JUNGLE on DVD on August 4.
If anybody has a contact with Network, please let them know that it was composed for widescreen 1.66:1.

Did you know that 3 strip technicolor exposed THREE black and white negatives and we've been stuck with color fascists forcing us to watch these films in color?Bob Furmanek said:Boy, they certainly are a sensitive group over there.
I invited the esteemed domino harvey to a private screening of an archival 35mm dye-transfer print of SUMMERTIME - in the proper aspect ratio - and she didn't even have the courtesy to reply.
The thread was shut down by Mr. Sausage. You think that's his real name?
I have the feeling some of the members had this reaction when presented with facts about the transition to widescreen.

I'm constantly amazed at the patience and self-assurance that Mr. Furmanek (and EddieLarkin) demonstrate at that other forum, deflecting needless attacks from rude veteran members who do not acknowledge his authority on the subject.Brandon Conway said:LOL @ the thread on the other self-serious forum being shut down because I called them on their BS.
Who would say no to that?! I've never seen it but I'd jump at the chance, a dye-transfer of a bona fide classic doesn't seem like the thing one should turn down.Bob Furmanek said:I invited the esteemed domino harvey to a private screening of an archival 35mm dye-transfer print of SUMMERTIME - in the proper aspect ratio - and she didn't even have the courtesy to reply.
UPDATE: Ms. Harvey just replied. She declined.
Wow. Just read that thread. Every so often it's a bit fun and definitely entertaining to pop in on that forum and giggle. In my world, if you want to consider yourself worthy of discussing film you have to understand the basics. Aspect ratio is a key ingredient to all films, whether made by Edison in 1900 or Hollywood in 2014. If one is not willing to accept that we as individuals do not reserve the right to choose our own shape, then one should not even step in to the arena.Bob Furmanek said:Oh, deep down they know that I'm correct but some people have a funny way of showing it.
By the way, I might change my ID here to "What's His Face."
It's not quite as clever as "knives" but it's got a nice ring to it.
Then, I can be as rude, arrogant and condescending as I want because nobody will know who I am!
