However, when I look at the sleeve scan 4:3 is clearly stated. The fact that the text of the US dvd is almost copied verbatim, is not too promising either.
But damn, I’d love to see this in good quality widescreen. I think that the German VHS is the best option, but perhaps I should take the gamble on this DVD.
Is their version of The Deserter cut? I have collected three different releases of The Deserter. I have the uncut VHS tape released by Paramount, a low quality DVD released by East West Entertainment LLC (on a double feature with Dead Aim) and a ridiculously censored DVD from Reel Corporation. It’s a shame about the Reel Corporation one, as well, since it has the nicest picture quality out of all the versions I’ve seen.
Reel Corporation used the same cut. Nice picture quality but there were scenes missing and swearing was muted. If I could get around to it someday, I’d love to edit The Deserter myself using the different versions. Whenever I want to put the film on, I never know whether I prefer nicer picture quality or lower picture quality with swearing left in. Why can’t I have both the nice picture from the Reel Corporation disc and the intact audio from the East West Entertainment disc? Annoying!
