Same Question - other Brando film ....
Streetcar Named Desire - I ordered this one (Original Director's Version) through Columbia House and it seems be foolscreen. It didn't say so at page for it online, and it doesn't mention it's aspect ratio on the case. When I started watching it the little "It's been adapted from it's original .. blah blah blah .. to fit on this screen" came up 
So my question is: Do I have a OAR copy?

Streetcar is 1.37:1 according to IMDB (plus it's a 1951 release). So no need for sad face, looks like you have the OAR.
There's a bunch of movies with an incorrect "modified to fit your screen" banner, I just can't think of any right now.

BUT if TCM showed it 1:66, which is what some films were shot back then, then the DVD must be pan and scam! I am sorry, unless someone could verify fromt he filmmkaers estate, I am convinced the DVD is pan and scam! So I wount be buying this DVD if it is only foolscreen!
