Just FYI: new prices at Amazon marketplace have been around $6 for quite awhile. W/ free shipping, DD is cheaper. So if you want it, get it -- you're saving $3. Just pointing out that it is probably not a misprice & resale value is limited.

I don't think that I've ever seen a new two-disc release for a $6 street price. It has to be a price mistake.

Full screen? According to IMDB, OAR is 1.85:1. I'd love to jump on this, but if the aspect ratio is wrong, I'll pass. Anyone know what that actual proper aspect ratio is? IMDB has been wrong before...

I had just looked at the "release" date. I could have added "50" to 1955, couldn't I?

Review here says full screen. Considering the age of the film, the "Academy" aspect ratio could be original.
