You mean they remastered from source film when they produced the DVDs? I guess they saw the ripples of the future coming, eh?

That's good to hear, but this 16:9 cropping sounds troubling. Comedies above all else should not be cropped like that. At least it can be SOMEWHAT justified in other genres, but comedies do not need to be wider. Maybe if there was more material on the film and they could pull a 16:9 image off of that without cropping, it might make a little bit of sense, but it's still unneeded. Why do people think HD can't be 4:3?
