R41. Yeah. And they also did the Blu ray in the same aspect ratio.

I've watched it in the (more or less) correct aspect ratio by adjusting my TV--it's incredible how much better the whole thing plays.

I've seen Summertime in revival houses a couple of times and never in the AR Criterion put it out in. People were telling Criterion it was never shown that way. Criterion told everyone bug off this is the way we're doing it. By '55 when the film was released 1.37:1 was dead as a doorknob. On youtube there is The Pleasure of His Company. This is '61 and they show it in 1.37. No way did that ever happen in any theater. Unfortunately it's fuzzy because it captures a San Francisco that no longer exists.

The Big Heat is another one I've been reading is absolutely in the old ratio. The credits are obviously not made for that ratio, and there's a lot of headroom.

Criterion needs to put out The Devils. I'd like to know who the clown is at Warner who won't release it. We know that the clown at Disney who won't release Song of the South is Iger. What a stupid man.

I love the IDEA of Warner Archive but they have quality control issues.

I don't need bells and whistles. I don't need bling. I wish they would put out Pepe Le Moko. Again I just want the movie. I know where to find histories and facts and god knows I don't want to watch movies with people blathering on. Also I was disappointed by the reviews of Swing Time. When I saw it at the Gramercy it was the best black and white print of a movie I ever saw. It was so brilliant and so visually nuanced it made me think is this the way these movies looked when people were going to see them first run? No wonder they were so addictive.

R62 Was it a nitrate print? These had/have superior luminosity and depth. Very flammable. But people are often shocked at how amazing these prints are (which were the standard for many years).

Why were the reviews od Swing Time disappointing?
