Hmm......was drooling over the technicolour shots that i did not realize that the print had the edges of the frame cropped off.

 

I compared the same frames from the technicolour print to the 2004 DVD

Looks like a dodgy aperture plate or the screen masking motor was giving up and projectionist didn't make any preparations to see that the masking was at correct 2.35:1. 

Films often on video disc are seriously cropped on the sides and often sometimes the top and bottom of scope film. Someone needs to go to SpecSavers!
