They did the same thing tonight with Man of La Mancha. And the same thing happened tonight as happened with Millie: About 39 minutes into the film, someone flipped a switch and the image expanded out of that small frame. Still didn't quite fill the screen but was what we normally get with...
I hope and pray that Star!, my favorite of those three, is a GIANT leap up from the brown-tinged glop that is the DVD.
If it is in HD, I will be keeping it on my DVR for the foreseeable future (until a Blu-ray is announced and issued).
