Fellini's "8 1/2" Criterion from Play.com
Question:

Can someone confirm that this is anamorphic, as Play's website says 4:3, (which I would normally ignore as an obvious error except that another site is offering a pan and scan version, so who can tell?) whilst the Criterion site does not mention a 4:3 or P&S version.
I know I should just trust Criterion, that they would never release an incorrect ratio film etc. etc., but it's £25 I can't afford to waste.
So if anyone has bought this from Play, please let me know.
Kind wishes
Simon

Hmmm.. Thet didnt do Kurosowa fans any favours

Answers:


Why not order it for £5 less from CD-Wow?
As for Yojimbo and Sanjuro, they are in the right ratio, but the Japanese technicians doing the transfer didn't leave any leeway for overscan at all. Watch them on a computer screen - that should sort it out.
And they've done Kurosawa fans lots of favours - Seven Samurai, Red Beard, Rashomon and The Hidden Fortress are all superb discs.

Answers:


Thanks Narshty, I have ordered from CD-Wow.
Appreciate it.
