The Great Escape Wrong Aspect Ratio (2 Viewers)

[larry bender]

THE GREAT ESCAPE- one of the greatest world war two films is in need of an aspect ratio adjustment. The current dvd has an aspect ratio of about 2:78. When the special edition which I understand is in the works, comes out I hope it is corrected to its proper aspect ratio of about 2:35. Believe me this film was not filmed in ultra-panavision 70.

The current DVD is misframed, revealing too much image on the right side.

Many people are hoping to see a SE of this title, myself included.

There a 2 DVD SE available in R2, so one might hope to see it arrive in R1...

Cheers,

How do DVDs get misframed? Is no one paying attention to what they're doing or do they just not know what they're doing?

More than likely both. I have the R2 UK version. I really like it.
