I have the DVD that's going to be released March 2, and it uses a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. Since this was shot in 1979 for US TV, I know it aired 1.33:1 originally, but it also was released theatrically overseas, where I expect it had a ratio closer to 1.78:1.
Question: was "Elvis" shot explicitly for 1.33:1 and cropped willy-nilly, or was it shot in such a way to work in either ratio? Any info here?
