Negative Positive
Title: Most are cropped for widescreen look, shot full frame.
Review: FYI everyone, Mel Brooks only shot TWO films in wide screen: "Blazing Saddles" and "History of the World Part 1".If you compare the rest of the films to the original full frame laserdiscs you will see that FOX just masked off the top & bottom of the picture to make the films look widescreen. They should have been presented in full frame to give us the complete picture, some signs & faces get cut off.So now I have to keep my 1987 laserdiscs, even though these new transfers look sharper.The missing films not in this box set are not owned by 20th Century Fox. We are lucky they made a special arrangement with Warner Brothers to include Blazing Saddles (although it is the old master) in this set."The Producers" , "Space Balls" and "Life Stinks" are owned by MGM."Dracula Dead and Loving it" is distributed by Warner Brothers & owned by Castlerock.
