I have Odd Couple (with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon) on DVD which is in wide screen format and I watch that movie at least three or four time a year. Couple of night ago, they were showing that movie on one of the movie channels in P&S format, and the way movie is chopped on sides is really horrible. Especially when there are more than two persons in a shot.

Since one don't to get to see the reaction from other actors in a shot due to fact that they are too far to the right or left of where the center action is, it takes away the full impact director had intended, especially when it is a comedy.

Long live wide screen format
