I was in Dallas a few weeks ago wandering around
Dealy Square and I got curious about Oliver Stone's
JFK film.
I know Stone has been slaughtered by critics who
said he was fast and loose with the truth - but
I still think its an interesting film.
So I rented the DVD this weekend.
Is there more than one version of this film ????
The DVD I rented was bizarre.
1.) No menu
2.) Non-anamorphic
3.) Claimed to be "wide-screen" - but alternated between
4:3 news clips and 2.35 letterbox
4.) Two sided
5.) Dolby 2.0 sound only
6.) A bizarre red line along the right side of the frame.
It ran from the top to the bottom of the frame. Almost
looked like it had a reason for being there -but the
reason wasn't apparent.
All I can guess is that this must have been one of the
first few titles pressed for the DVD format.
Probably mastered using the same master used for
laserdisc.
