Hi,

Just been looking at the Audrey Hepburn boxset and whereas Funny Face, Breakfast At Tiffanys and Paris When It Sizzles are all anamorphic widescreen, the back of the case for Sabrina says it's 4:3 full frame.

I just checked on imdb but there's no info under technical specs except that it's 35mm. Does anyone know whether 4:3 is the correct ratio for this?

Thanks

I believe it was shot in the Academy ratio ie, full frame (more or less). Let us know what the transfer is like - I have the R1 and it comes with a retrospective doc but I知 no great fan of Paris and Funny Face so I think I値l make do with my R1s of Sabrina and Breakfast.

Didn't buy it as I wanted to make sure about the ratio first :) but will pick it up tomorrow now for sure. Have never seen Sabrina (only the remake) or Paris but really enjoyed the other two when I saw them.

Cheers for that

Sabrina is good stuff, with Audrey looking like a goddess & Bogart looking old enough to be her father.

Not taxing, but a good watch all the same :)

Picked this up today. I know it's abot ｣28 on Play but the cc is maxed out at the mo but both Virgin and Woolies have them at ｣29.99 :)

I'm no expert but the transfer looks fine. The R2 also comes with a retrospective doc about 11 mins long and some stills. I'm not sure what I was expecting having seen the remake first, but I was quite surprised at how similar they were

Just in case anyone's interested:
Funny Face also comes with a retrospective doc, Paramount in the 50s featurette, trailer and stills, while Breakfast At Tiffany's and Paris When It Sizzles just have trailers
