Twistin 27th Dec 2015		That song is played over the credits at the beginning and end of the film, as I recall.



henry29 27th Dec 2015		The Hondells did a Song called Winter A-Go-Go at that time?. H.



Twistin 17th Dec 2015		By spherical, that is to say non-anamorphic (so widescreen by proxy, but not "proper" widescreen, which would be 2.35:1 / 2.40:1...squeezed to fit into a 1.37:1 frame, then expanded out by the lense to fill the 2.35:1 screen.)



George Slv 17th Dec 2015		Twistin, is your copy at CG (secret place)? I'm not sure what spherical means. It ends up on a 35mm film, which is AR 1.50. The lens is spherical anyway. Not that I care too much about it. The US VOD could not be sent outside US. The famous Reflections perform a half-baked song in it.



Twistin 17th Dec 2015		I made that capture from my copy which I ripped from a TCM broadcast. Apparently the film was spherical, shot in 1.37:1 aspect ratio, then matted to 1.85:1 -- a rather common practice even today. The full height of the film was never intended to be seen and when running in theaters was matted via the projector's aperture plate. I have a number of films taken from VHS or broadcast that show the full height, while only the matted version is available in DVD. Sometimes that additional space will reveal microphones, crew members, etc. Note that not every non-anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) film has that extra information, as some are matted in the lab and that space is just black on the top and bottom of the 35mm film frame. Apparently Sony has released this on DVD-R on demand; I assume it's widescreen, but have no idea. All the online stores have it, though.



George Slv 14th Dec 2015		You can see the movie on Youtube at the moment, a pale old VHS copy. Is there a good quality around? Looking at the title above I see the widescreen was made by cutting the top and bottom of the picture. The width is about the same on the 4:3 TV copy.
