Can anyone tell me whether the currently-available DVD of the film CHARLY contains the widescreen version of the film? I searched through previous threads about the disc, and as best I can tell, MGM was originally going to release it as a full-screen-only DVD, but delayed it for several months and eventually released it as a dual-sided disc containing both widescreen and full-screen versions.
However, both Amazon and IMDB list the DVD as containing only the full-screen version of the film, and some of Amazon's user comments complain that it indeed contains only the full-screen version, while others say that it contains both. I know that several dual-ratio DVDs have been reissued in full-screen only, though I believe that Sony has been the chief culprit. Is MGM guilty of this as well? If I order CHARLY from Amazon right now, can I expect to receive the widescreen version of the film?
Thanks for your help.
