Negative Positive
Title: Pan & Scan DVD
Review: George Roy Hill took full advantage of the entire screen when shooting The Sting. This Pan & Scan edit is noticably detrimental to the overall presentation. Not only is the panning blatantly evident, there are scenes where critical action is taking place offscreen and totally missed. This movie is hurt by the Pan & Scan process more than most movies.A widescreen version exists on VHS; I would recommend sticking with that until a widescreen DVD is issued.
Is the review positive or negative?
