A League Of Their Own Question (1 Viewer)

[David Von Pein]

Is the current DVD version of 1992's A League Of Their Own anamorphic?

The preponderance of evidence that I can gather would indicate that it is an anamorphic DVD transfer.

DVD Profiler data, plus Amazon and DVD Planet show that it is anamorphic. But DVD Empire, which is usually pretty reliable about such technical matters, says it is not.

There's no hint of this info on the packaging.

Was just curious.


"What do you recommend" (to enhance the appearance of second baseman Marla Hooch)? .......

"Lots of night games."



This is a great film. And deserving of an SE, I'm sure you all will concur.

Vote for an SE of this fine feature flick here -------->

Yes it is 2.35:1 Anamorphic, (I can stretch it to fill my 16x9 Pioneer...I can't stretch a non-anamorphic 2.35:1 that far).

 

[David Von Pein]

Thank you, John, for the data.

I still need 99 more people to confirm this for "official A.L.O.T.O. verification purposes". (Congress has made this mandatory since 1948.)

 

[Andrew s wells]

Yes david.it is indeed anamorphic. 98 more to go, right?

 

[David Von Pein]

Thanks, Andrew. my man.

Score:
Anam. = 2.
Non-A. = 0.

We'll need to straighten out DVD Empire I guess. (Would tarring-&-feathering their web masters be *too* severe, ya think?)

I just popped mine in and I'll add another vote to the "Yes it's Anamorphic" tally.

p.s. I just checked out DVD Empire and they also say there's a DD5.1 English track... Mine only has Dolby (EDITED correction) Surround...I don't remember any other version being released, so I guess they're wrong again.

Yea for Anamorphic

 

[Mark-W]

I was under the impression Penny Marshall was working
of extras for a special edition of this film.

Mark

 

[David Von Pein]

Mine only has Dobly Surround.

Gee, Mark H., looks like you do indeed have an alternate version. Because most everyone else's copy features Dolby 2.0 Surround!

Goodie, goodie gumdrops! Let this be so! Let this be so!!

(Must have been all that caffeine at lunch. Sorry. )

 

[Qui-Gon John]

Even worse than DVD Empire's info error, is the fact that these damn studios can't bother to have accurate information on the packaging!!!

 

[MarkHastings]

Gee, Mark H., looks like you do indeed have an alternate version.

David, Yeah! You should hear the Dobly sound...it's MUCH better than Dolby Surround. Although I would have prefered a Bodly 5.1.

p.s. I fixed the spelling in my old post

 

[David Von Pein]

Roger Wilco, Mark H.!

(Ever wonder what the film would sound like in ear-shattering Lobdy 7.1??)

 

[David Von Pein]

This film really would be great with multiple commentaries on a DVD (don't ya think)?

Or even a group commentary by, say, Tom H., Geena, Rosie, and Lori Petty.

Think Madonna would ever be talked into sitting through a commentary session? Might be enlightening indeed.

And indeed it IS a reality!

April 20th! 2 Disc Set!!!

Where did you find this out?

 

[Greg Madsen]

April 20th! 2 Disc Set!!!

About time! Penny Marshall mentioned this being in the works on the Rosie O'Donnel show years ago. Rosie mentioned that she was participating in a commentary.
