Go ahead and bite on the Elvis. The packaging is incorrect and Harum Scarum is indeed 1.75:1 despite what it says on the back cover. The other two films are about 2.4:1. Just plugged all three into the computer and verified.

Warner did this with their double-feature discs as well, at least that Vacation Double Feature is in WS. Then again, most of the compilations I was looking at picking up for so cheap were probably unwise buys so perhaps the FS madness is a blessing.

It's especially infuriating that the New Lines are all FS though. I would have gotten the one with Thirteen Days and the Jackie Chan and Lawnmower Man Double Features if they had all the bonuses as well.

Someone should tell Warner reps at the Home Theater Forum Chat next year to release more of these in OAR.

The John Wayne prints look fantastic...not bad for 70+ year old films.

Great job Warner!

On the originals, are both R and Unrated in full and wide for 4 different versions? Did they use seamless branching or is the movie on there 4 times? Is it true the full versions are open matte with more nudity (I always prefer OAR, but allow for the occasional nudity exception)?

I have the first "Poison Ivy" disc and it has both rated and unrated versions both in widescreen and foolscreen. The branching isn't seamless though- on my older Pioneer it pauses a few times during the theatrical version, it might not be as bad on other players though, like ones that don't pause during the layer switch.

That triple feature w/Michael makes me wonder if they'll ever release the widescreen version.

Are all these triple features 2-Disc sets like Lethal Weapon or are some all on 1 disc?
