Hi Markus,

The UK release is listed as being a mix of 1.37:1/1.78:1 - is the same true for this? I am guessing it's film footage or archive footage?

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Technically the UK releases - they should be 1.37:1/1.66:1/1.78:1 for the aspect ratio, due to the film clips used having black bars on the sides.

[Markus_Lang]

This is a documentary which occasionally uses old film clips. It is irrelevant that the old clips are often (but not always) presented in another (original) aspect ratio. After all, everything is presented within an anamorphic 1.78:1 frame, and that is the only aspect ratio of the original material by Jane Magnusson.

This is the case with other documentaries and other features we have listed. It would be hypercorrect to list the aspect ratio of occasional, secondary archival material as the aspect ratio of the main feature.
