Title: Great Film - Lost on Widescreen TVs
Review: This film of the D-Day landing is a superb rendering of the events of June 6th, 1944. Unfortunately, those of us who have widescreen TVs will be forced to watch it in 4:3 ratio (which means that the picture is tiny - in the centre of the screen). The reason for this is that fairly large amounts of the film are (rightly so) in German and French, consequently, any attempt to blow the image up causes the subtitles for those languages to dissapear off the screen.If Fox had bothered to produce an anamorphic version of the film, then this would probably not be the case.Incidentally, Fox in their great and utter wisdom, for the Australian (Region 4) release of this film, although producing an anamorphic version, decided not to have any subtitles at all!Anyone watching this version for the first time must surely be totally mystified as to what was actually going on!
