Looks like only the generic "Paramount in the 50s" featurette, and the photo gallery are left off, but the rest of the DVD extras are included.

I know they're just screen grabs, but those frames (including the title card) do make a pretty compelling case for 1.75. Looks like a pretty great transfer all around. I'd love to see comparison with a 1.33 Blu-ray, just to see what (if anything) we're gaining on the sides.EddieLarkin wrote:Perfect.

That was my first thought as well. Especially that third cap.

The nearest 1.33:1 cap that matches a Beaver one I can find is this one, which shows that we gain on both sides, but only very slightly (assuming the camera hasn't moved between frames, as they're not exact).Jeff wrote:I'd love to see comparison with a 1.33 Blu-ray, just to see what (if anything) we're gaining on the sides.
edit: Gary has added a couple of comparisons now also showing a clear gain on the sides, albeit ones slight enough to make little perceptible difference in motion.

No gain on the sides, just a straight widescreen matte of the Academy

Re: Sabrina Blu-ray (Paramount via Warner)
There is clearly gain on the sides even in your own comparisons. It's just very slight.

Oh gee, golly well that .05% changes everything. I think "clearly" is not the word you're looking for-- perhaps "imperceptibly"

I've just seem some examples of the stunning new Blu-ray of SABRINA.
For the first time since the original theatrical play-dates nearly sixty years ago, Billy Wilder's compositions and Charles Lang Jr.'s cinematography are seen in the correct aspect ratio.
Kudo's to Ned Price, George Feltenstein and the outstanding technicians at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging for trusting the primary source materials and presenting this film in the directors intended widescreen version.
