In the best interest of keeping this section of the site as informative as possible, DO NOT QUOTE THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE. They are among the most unreliable and error-ridden (and unaccountable) sources for technical film format and soundtrack format information. (Other areas of the site can be useful, of course, so understand I'm not knocking the entire operation.)The very reason this thread was initiated by Mr. Stambaugh (at my request) was because some sources are claiming "flat" for this movie (such as the IMDb) and others (including the British publication Sight And Sound) are claiming "scope" prints were screened. The Leonard Maltin Movie Guide notes "Super 35" (which typically implies "scope," though in some cases can denote "flat" or even dual-format distribution in some cases).
If you go back and re-read the rules for posting, you'll be reminded not to post information unless you have personally handled a print. Yes, there can be exceptions where it's possible someone can still contribute useful information without ever handling a print. The example of noting what the IMDb states in the previous post as an attempt to provide the information being asked about isn't one of the desirable exceptions, in my opinion.
Sorry to go off on a rant, but please understand if these posts aren't accurate they serve no one, and only contribute to the clutter of too much erroneous information already found on the Internet.
Perhaps the thread title should be revised to read: "Saving Silverman"/"Evil Woman."

Just trying to help
Note: Also Amazon quotes the DVD as being 1.85:1

The original question concerned the theatrical release print(s), not the DVD. It's not too difficult to assemble a pretty lengthy list of movies available on DVD (and laserdisc) whose widescreen aspect ratio differs from their release print version...

Ran for one whole week...the flop of the year, although the film was enjoyable. Neil Diamond CAN sing but CANNOT act. That is all...
