Does The Big Trail (1930) count? It's not CinemaScope (2.10:1 Fox Grandeur), but the only pre-1950s widescreen process film in B&W other than The Bat Whispers that survives complete. And it's the only one on Blu-Ray.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'll add it with a special note.

BODY SNATCHERS was 2:1 SuperScope. RED BEARD was 2:35 TohoScope and could be included.

Correct. I'll add Red Beard to the OP.

Don't see THE ROUND-UP (1966) on the wish list - the first foreign-language B/W 'scope film I saw in a cinema.

DVDBeaver review lists Expresso Bongo (1959) as 2:35 aspect ratio:

Just watched Our Man in Havana on Amazon video. What a fantastic film. I can't for the life of me think why it took me this long to get around to watching. Especially as I am a fan of Reed, his other two Greene adaptations, and also of Alec Guinness.

The picture was very sharp, even streamed on my 11.6" Chromebook screen. And the cinematography looked excellent. I'll be ordering the R2 DVD without delay to enjoy the CinemaScope presentation on my 40" television. If ever there was film crying out for a BD, this is it. It would make a perfect Criterion release.

Reddington · 06-21-2016, 01:22 AM

Released in the UK and Japan this coming August. I only know it by reputation, and have not seen the existing Criterion DVD:

Is that release English friendly? I don't always trust the database info.
