Picked this up on Ebay, it's a piece of Hard Days Night on 16MM film. Some prints were made back in the day in this format (reduction prints is the term)
I hesitated to put this up, number one because of the quality, I had to shoot the projection with a digital (still) camera using its video function. (not so great) The other matter is that while HDN was shown in widescreen, which you can see from the DVD, they seemed to have resolved that issue on the printing of this film by doing a bit of a vertical squeeze, rather than chopping at the sides. (actually they did a little bit of both, it's obvious by comparing to the DVD) So, some might say.. AHA! he has a long face..
On a side note, I think it shows a blatant lack of respect for something historical like this by chopping it up in 300 foot pieces just to increase your chance of making a buck.. (Didn't stop me from buying it, but ya know what I mean)
