When I saw _The Truth About Charlie_ (2002)/_Charade_ (1963) DVD in the
Wal-Mart DVD dump today, I thought that it was a mistake. But sure enough,
the scanner priced it at $4.88. (For those who don't know, Universal
included the original anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1 _Charade_ (1963) with
_The Truth About Charlie_. This version of _Charade_ was never available
separately.)
Of course, _The Truth About Charlie_ is a total piece of crap and that is
probably the reason why Universal did the piggyback _Charade_ thing. If I
recall correctly, the original Criterion _Charade_ was non-anamorphic, but
it appears that an anamorphic Criterion version is now available for around
$36.00. The Universal anamorphic version of _Charade_ at $4.88 is a real
bargain, considering that the Madacy piece of shit version is $7.99.
Other titles in the Wal_Mart DVD dump title worth looking for are _Beverly
Hills Cop_ and _Tin Cup_ @ $5.50.
