nsallieharding Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Once again this movies plays in pan and scan just like it did about three weeks ago. I was hoping that TCM had rectified this mistake and would show this movie in its original wide screen format this time but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brwym Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I taped YRR from TCM a couple of years ago and it was in letterbox. Usually TCM shows letterbox versions of movies if they were filmed that way, although Don't Give Up the Ship with Jerry Lewis was not shown in letterbox. Perhaps they're mixing their tapes up?

classicsfan1119 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The TCM Programmer has explained previously that sometimes when they lease a film, and even after they request the wide-screen version be shipped to them, they end up receiving the wrong version anyway. At that point they have only two choices...refuse to show it at all, or show the one they received. Perhaps this is what happened this time, too. TCM does it's very best for us (they know what we like), and not every problem is their fault. ;)ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
