Widescreen Chaos! Unveiling The Truth About Aspect Ratios
Join us for an eye-opening (and hilarious) deep dive into the wild world of Hollywood aspect ratios! We’re thrilled to welcome Bob Furmanek and Jack Theakston from the 3D Film Archive, who share their extensive research and experience restoring classic films and solving aspect ratio mysteries. We discuss some fascinating case studies from their recent restorations, including "The Glass Web (1953)" and "Gog (1954)," and Charlotte shares the challenges of finding the correct aspect ratio for "The Country Girl (1954)." Along the way, we crack jokes, geek out over widescreen formats, and have a great time unraveling the history of how Hollywood framed its biggest films. PLUS—don’t miss an exclusive premiere of a newly restored clip from "Money From Home (1953)," coming soon from Kino Lorber! ______ The original widescreen articles referenced in this episode can be found archived on the Wayback Machine here: https://web.archive.org/web/202201260... https://web.archive.org/web/202201260...
