Avguygeorge, Enjoyed your reminisce on "How The West Was Won," except that it didn't play at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Three-camera Cinerama was dead by the time the Dome was built for the premiere of Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. "Cinerama" films at that point in time were just super anamorphic pics. "How The West Was Won" played at the Hollywood Stanley Warner the only LA theater with 3-camera projection. I agree the the sound was spectacular for the time.
Newbie Letterbox Question
I just bought a a Pioneer DVD player and so far have only one DVD title, "BladeRunner" (director's cut). I keep programming the player to use the 4/3 aspect ratio for my standard TV, but when I watch the picture it only gives the 16/9 widescreen view. Is this a problem with the DVD player--or is this particular DVD disk not encoded to offer 4/3 viewing???
