Question about original "the Fly" dvd

Anyone know if this is anamorphic? The review here on dvd talk does not mention if it is or it is not.
thanks-

Yes, the original Fly with Vincent Price is anamorphic.

If you're talking about "The Fly (1986)", then, yes, the original double feature dvd is anamorphic. Check out the back cover art for the disc on dvdempire.

also note that the original fly double feature uses the exact same tranfer as the two new special editions....the extras are massive on the new sets though

If you're talking about the 1958 version, that disc is awesome----the original movie plus the sequel, both are beautiful anamorphic prints (the sequel is B & W), and the disc is under $10.
