Indeed this does seem to have the Super Technirama 70 aspect ratio of 2.2:1 which is at least unusual.
Do you have a link to a review or some screencaps and did you buy it yourself?

Thanks! As it is an import for almost all members that would be very helpful

wow, that looks incredible!!!
torn about waiting for a NA release sans forced subs.
I have to think it will make it to NA eventually.

Thanks very nice!
I see on the linked screencaps that you have producteur next to your forum name - do you have anything to do with producing that Blu-Ray?

Well it was worth asking

And a special thank you for posting so many caps - I am sure nobody will refuse to buy this one based on the picture quality of the caps!

I have to admit that I thought that the cover looked very cheap so I was not expecting much and this is a VERY nice surprise!

I will now go and buy this and hope that they will also release 55 Days at Peking!

Does this blu ray have an english soundtrack as the information at amazon only lists it as having a french soundtrack.

If it has forced subs, it must mean it includes the original english soundtrack.

I see you say that the disc includes the Entr'acte and Exit Music but not the Overture but I'm not sure that the film ever had an Overture. I don't recall one when I first saw the film in Cinerama and I've never heard one mentioned anywhere.

Just received this in the post this morning and I'm very impressed with the picture quality (based on a quck scan through).

Its a pity about the sub titles but there are quite a lot of scenes without dialogue, so its not as distracting as it could have been.

I like the cover which is nice and colourful. It says on the back that its newly mastered in high definition.

This was a bit more expensive than I would normally pay, thanks to Amazon shipping charges, but I've been waiting ages for this one on DVD/Blu.

"Legend of the Lost" is also out on blu-ray from Germany with John Wayne and Sophia Loren.

I occasionally do a search at blu-ray.com hitting the all countries selection as you never know what is going to turn up somewhere. You really don't know if some of these older movies will ever get released here in the US.

It is the same master that has been aired on MGM HD in the US.
Has the advantage of better compression due to the usage of H264 and higher bitrate, overall a decent but not spectacular release.

I would rate it about as high as the more problematic Warner releases like Mutiny on the Bounty and Battle of the Bulge - the principle of use what you have if it is half decent.

wow, watching the quality of this film on blu is an incredible experience. just about the best transfer of a classic film I've ever seen.

There is a newer French blu ray release of "Circus World" dated 7-13-13 by Filmedia. Does anyone know if the French subtitles on the English language version are Forced?

Same disc as the previous one, but this English release should meet your expectations:
