3.0 out of 5 stars
aspect ratio confusion,
By V.M. Flesher (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shane (DVD)
SHANE is a great film, but this DVD doesn't quite present it correctly. Paramount released SHANE in 1953. Its intended projection aspect ratio was 1.66:1 (coincidentally the European widescreen cinema aspect ratio; and, very close to our current video favorite, 16:9). Check out this article: http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/widescreen/evolution.htmI haven't watched this DVD carefully enough (I don't enjoy the crop-job, and prefer my memory of seeing it in the theatre) to determine if it was panned/scanned or centered to eliminate edge material, but it definitely does not present the film in the aspect ratio intended for cinema projection in 1953. This is a greater shame, because SHANE was at the vanguard pushing cinema screens to the wider ratios we enjoy today.

NOT P&S!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shane (DVD)
I just wanted to address the reviewer below who bemoaned the fact that Shane is presented in a pan & scan format - It IS NOT Cropped, but is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1 (or 4x3). Most older movies were shot in this format....So enjoy it in all its splendor as it was intended to be seen. This disc is a great deal too....good to see Paramount coming down out of the clouds with their pricing finally.
