The movie is a classic and is the penultimate version especially with James Mason as Nemo and in spite of it's hokey parts. But what amazed me most it the video quality. The DVD version is thankfully not "modified to fit your (lo fi) screen." Nor is it 1.37 : 1 as IMDb states. Instead the aspect ratio is 2.55:1 which is probably equivalent to "Cinemascope." Viewed on your wide screen HDTV the width will have severe letter-boxing!
I chose to use some zoom to get almost 16x9 sizing. And although this is not a blue ray disk, using a blue ray player the picture quality compared favorably with HD movies. The vivid color and sharpness make watching it after seeing the VHS tape is like seeing a whole new movie.
