Looking for Charade Criterion 1st printing Info
Hello,
I recently purchased a Copy of Charade Criterion OOP and I wanted to verify that it is not a bootleg. I would greatly appreciate it if somebody that owns the disc could post the UPC and ISBN numbers that belong to this edition.
Also if somebody could email me a scan of the back that would be great, my email is: apguzman at gmail.com.
Thanks,
Armando

Why would you purchase you purchase the out-of-print version? The new, in-print version, as far as I know, has exactly the same features and is anamorphic (which the OOP one isn't). I hope you got the OOP one for a very low price...

Fandango - Thanks a bunch. The numbers match so I'll go ahead and open it.
Walter - I got if for fairly cheap, ~$15, but I got it as an experiment. I want to see first hand how much an anamorphic transfer improves the picture quality. I plan to get the new one and compare them side by side. My current TV is 1.33 but it does anamorphic squeeze.
When I get a widescreen TV, I plan to test them again and see then I should see a really big improvement.
Hey DVDs are not just about the movie every time, some times its fun to just play with the technology.

Assume?
Actually, from what I saw at DVDBeaver (don't have the link, sorry), the 1.33 letterbox version looks slightly better on a 1.33 display.
But YMMV, of course.
I figure I'm gonna hold on to my OOP Charade 1st printing until I have the 16x9 display on which to properly show off the upgrade. Of course, if that goes out of print, I'll upgrade lickety split.

The non-anamorphic image is sharper and has better contrast, even though it's lower-res than the newer 16:9.
On a 4:3 display I'd much rather watch the original disc anytime.
