Help Looking For: The Collector (1965) Theatrical Cut on LaserDisc

Author

I’ve seen the Blu-ray release of the movie, but it turns out that a 4:3 print of the film was stretched to make it appear to be 16:9. Would anyone happen to have a LaserDisc rip of the movie or perhaps an upscaled version of the theatrical cut found on LaserDisc, so it could be possible to view this movie in its original state in the highest video and audio quality possible?

If it’s just stretched then you could just compress it back to 4:3, that’d most likely be nicer then an upscaled LD.

Sorry for the confusion. The movie in its original theatrical state is not full screen 4:3. It is 16:9, but I think the transfer used for the Blu-ray is zoomed in from a 4:3 transfer because the top and bottom of the screen is invisible due to being zoomed in. There is more visibility on the top and bottom frames of the entire movie on Laserdisc than the Blu-ray.
