I recall seing this movie about 40 years ago on Channel 61 out of Cleveland. The print was pan-and-scan, which I did and do hate, and my only memory is of thinking that whoever made it was trying to make something like a Hitchcock movie. (Channel 61, in fact, was where I saw my first two Hitchcocks, "Suspicion" and "North by Northwest," as well as my first Ford, "What Price Glory?" Collectively, these were the first movies that made me think, "Someone made this" - that someone being the director, although I wouldn't have known from directors at the time. before that, I think I assumed movies just existed in some magical place that I could see inside my TV or on the big screen at the local theater.)wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-79315996958846740582010-05-19T12:08:10.687-04:002010-05-19T12:08:10.687-04:00Brad: I believe the film's aspect ratio was 1...Brad: I believe the film's aspect ratio was 16:9.joe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-31841998246128644932010-05-19T11:11:03.566-04:002010-05-19T11:11:03.566-04:00Joe: I saw "The Naked Edge" a while bac...Joe: I saw "The Naked Edge" a while back - either on TV or video - and it looked like 1.77.
