3.0 out of 5 stars What a disappointment! When are we ever going to get a widescreen version?, 5 Aug 2008
By J. Bryce (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Robbery [DVD] [1967] (DVD)
It's a five star movie and one of my all time favourites but I have to knock at least a couple of stars off this Optimum release - not because of the film quality but because of the DVD transfer. The Amazon listing doesn't make it clear but you should be aware that this is strictly a full-frame, pan and scan version. Not even full-frame on one side and a letterbox or anamorphic version on the other. I wonder if anyone is ever going to get wise to what the legions of fans of this film are looking for? All we want is to see it the way it was originally meant to be seen and the way we all saw it on the big screen back in 1967. How hard can that be?

Superb film which has been languishing on a long deleted video but after many years of waiting we get a half-baked dvd release.What a shame!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic, 21 Aug 2008
This review is from: Robbery [DVD] [1967] (DVD)
Amazingly, the dumb morons at Optimum still think there is a market for widescreen films panned&scanned to 4x3. Even if this is open matte, it's inexcusable - the film is meant to be seen the way it's projected theatrically. A plague on those cretinous brainless congenitally stupid idiotic imbeciles.
