Gosh, I thought you knew! Dimension A is 1.377 +/- 0.001 inches, or 34.975 +/- 0.025 mm, per SMTPE 139 (SMPTE STANDARD for Motion-Picture Film (35-mm) ---- Perforated KS). --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-11-2006 11:39 PM                        quote: Mike Heenan Mike I'm wondering if you're confusing that with Beverly DAngelo in Nat. Lampoons Vacation... same situation No, this film came out before Vacation. I think Beverly is not cut off...isnt' she visible in the regular frame? Gotta get my NLV DVD out.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-11-2006 11:56 PM                     I think she was cut off if I recall... I used to have a print and projected it full frame one time and she was nude there.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 08-12-2006 12:58 PM                     In "Vacation" she's wearing panties in the shower, which you can see on the old CED videodisc. I've got the 1981 laserdisc of The Muppet Movie from Magnetic Video, and you can see TONS of stuff you're not supposed to see on that, like arms coming out of the puppets and there's one part where you can see some guys laying on a board operating several puppets at once. The CED videodisc of that movie is zoomed-in so you don't see any of that. Some kids must have been scarred for life at any badly-framed showings- all the other Muppet films after that were hard-matted.  |  IP: Logged Peter Mork Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Newton, MA, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 08-12-2006 06:32 PM                     RE: John Wilson, "So...how wide's your film then?" That would be 1 189/500 inches - wise guy.  |  IP: Logged Ron Curran Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 504 From: Springwood NSW Australia Registered: Feb 2006 posted 08-12-2006 07:15 PM                        ... and 70mm is just a myth?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
