I went by Best Buy yesterday to pick up Roman Holiday and noticed that it is in "Fullscreen" 1.33:1. I checked out their web site while in the store and noticed this was the only version listed.

So my question is, was this title originally filmed in 1.33:1? Is there a widescreen version?

I went ahead and purchased it, but am waiting to open it based on what answer I get to my question. Hopefully I didn't buy the chopped up version!

Thanks!

Jimmy,

This movie was made before Widescreen was readily used and this film's OAR is 1.33:1. You can go ahead and open it up and enjoy it. It's a great film and a pretty good documentary also. I wish that they could have gotten Peck to do a commentary.

If you like Roman Holiday, you'll like Sabrina, too. It was also filmed in black and white in the Academy ratio of 1.37:1. It was made a year after Roman Holiday, IIRC.
