also the ultimate edition is 2:35:1 and they claim they are releasing all of the bond films in the correct aspect ratios for the first time. I believe all of the U.E. before thunderball are 1.66:1 though I have seen differing aspect ratios on different dvd releases on dr. no and from russia with love I have seen 1:77:1 , 1:78:1 or 2:35:1 .

I am relying on info from amazon u.k. and amazon.com as well as IMDB and so some of this could be incorrect.


Cinemascope is in fact a 2.35:1 anamorphic process.
And all the UE editions are in the correct aspect ratio. the BOnd films before Thunderball were shot flat with an 1.66 aspect ratio. Live and let die and The Man with the golden gun were shot in 1.85:1.

don't believe amazon or imdb, they are not good sources.

since you live in the Uk, Universal has just released a special edition dvd of The Game with all the special features of the criterion disc.

since digitalfreakNYC does not support piracy, it is probably why the torrent is dead.
