This is an interesting subject, (sorry, not about "Hell is Empty"), concerning "Forbidden Planet."' I had also heard that perhaps four test prints were struck of Forbidden Planet in scope, but of course, were never sold on the market. SOmeone has them.
There was a big ole hoopla on another film forum, where a frella bought a rare feature print of "FP" (well call it that for now on in this post), as the seller conveniently didn't ship it, and the poor fella was out somke 600 dollars I believe. It was really bid up.
What was interesting, was that the print appeared to be a "partial scope" print. That is, it wasn't a full anamorphic scope print, but it was squeezed to an extant. I've heard of some prints that were done in this format. Earlier on on VHS, you would see these occasinally marketed.
For instance, I had a VHS, years ago, of "Mad Max", and the source print they used wasn't squeezed out, but when I used my Super 8 scope lense to try to "eye-piece" watch it, it was too squeezed, so it was a different ratio than the classic anamorphic scope.
The "FP" super 8 print appeared to be so as well.
Any positions on this?
