The original was filmed in 1.33:1 then cropped down to 4:3. For the streaming platforms, they chose to crop it the other way: https://i.imgur.io/sbdIoxd_d.web

IMO they should just split the difference and stream the full original 1.33:1 with (smaller) black bars.
- toast0 4y agoShowing the original film means showing things the director thought would be out of frame. In the 90s, film directors would often consider both the cinema and TV ratios, but TV directors? I kind of doubt it; changing the framing might be interesting, but it's not a good way to show it, IHMO. Debates over overscan are fine, but if it wasn't part of the original broadcast, and wasn't part of the directors' intent to be shown, it shouldn't be part of any distribution.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> The original was filmed in 1.33:1 then cropped down to 4:3. It was filmed at 1.37:1. 1.33:1 would be almost indistinguishable from 4:3 (its 3.99:3)
