Titles sequence Summertime Look at all that headroom in that title sequence. Sacrilege!

Did they waltz in Summertime? I recall them dancing but was it a waltz? Looked more like a Mambo.

Can someone please explain to this person that One From The Heart played in the academy ratio in 1982 at not only Radio City Music Hall but in cinemas all across the country. Did they buy old retro equipment to show these and were they windowboxed on screens all around the US?? Preposterous! Lol

You aren't making sense, my friend, as Summertime most likely was shot Summertime 1954. It premiered May 1955 (Italy) and June 1955( USA) and is not titled Springtime nor Wintertime! Again 1.66 yes 1.85 never as the credits caps clearly show. And FYI most cinemas had an invention called a...

I saw a double feature back then in Times Square of The Bridges Of Toko-Ri and Raintree County. Don’t know how I managed to stay awake. Probably because I didn’t want to get rolled!!

Well I saw The Wizard of Oz for years entirely in B&W and was shocked the first time I saw it in color. Thought it was fake! Forget sepia. Yes that explains everything.

Couldn’t agree with you more. Except I think Bertolucci approved it? It was magnificent in 2.35:1. And Ben Hur should be 2.55:1 I believe. And as I said I’ll take more Venice than less.

Whining and complaining is hardly dealing with anything. Again simply boycott criterion if you’re so upset by it. Problem solved.

I’m not upset in the least. Boycott all Criterion if you’re that upset by it. Carry on.

So how is it that a modern theater was not able to show an academy ration film? I understand it it’s the other way around. Even my widescreen TV is able to do so. You say “could not” - do you mean “would not”? Please further explain.

Ok everyone this is not Ridley Scott in the ‘80s. It was shot and composed at 1.37:1- the screen caps don’t lie. Otherwise why should anyone use an open matte? It was a bridge-the-gap time of aspect ratios. I support Criterion’s decision. Just deal with it.

Yes like Gone With The Wind in 1967

I prefer the View-Master ratio, very much in keeping with the period of the film itself and of the 3D travelogue slides I owned.

All of these the academy ratio is better. Don’t most modern monitors have an option to fill the screen which will chop off the top and bottoms anyway? Anyway I prefer to see more of Venice not less. This was definitely shot for 1:37 based upon these compositions and no one can convince me...

Defitely prefer the lower one- academy ratio. You can see the sky and his arms and her breasts. I bought the DVD And will get the Blu. Day one

Really? What ratio was One From The Heart?
