It's great that Columbia has responded to the brickbats and released a widescreen edition so shortly after the lame debacle that was the pan n'scan release.

It doesn't mention its Anamorphically enhanced/16x9 anywhere on the package and marketing really should have put a widescreen banner on the front or something to differentiate the release...

For the record though, the dvd is anamorphically enhanced as is the trailer which is included.

;)

What's Castle Keep? I've heard of The Keep, and I've heard of The Castle -- but not Castle Keep.

Now if they would respond to the thousands of other customer complaints regarding OAR and cheesy-looking catalog transfers and ridiculously high retail prices...

You mean like these amazing transfers of Lord Jim, Bonjour Tristesse, They Came to Cordura, 3:10 to Yuma, The Swimmer, Baby, The Rain Must Fall, Radio Flyer, Devil at Four O'Clock, Eddy Duchin Story, Picnic, The Professionals, Requiem for a Heavyweight - well, I could go on and on. All of the above are, of course, not cheesy and all are in their OAR. I think you'd be hard pressed to find ten percent of Columbia's output on DVD that isn't presented correctly. It's maddening when they don't, but this rush to constantly damn a studio that most of the time gets it right is not really fair or accurate.

Excellent news, I can add this film to my collection now.

It's good to hear customer feedback can make a difference. Now if only they'd listen to us again and release A Midnight Clear in OAR.
