=============================
By "anamorphic", I mean "enhanced for 16:9 sets".
That has nothing do do with what it is shot on, but how the DVD is produced.
This DVD is 1.85:1 set into a 4:3 frame. It is NOT anamorphic.
It should be.

You most likely are not using a progressive scan player,
or you do not have it set right.
Using a progressive scan player on a 16:9 set,
there is indeed something amiss. The picture is "windowboxed".
ALL DVDs over 1.34:1 should be anamorphic to show full resolution
on a WS TV set.
