Some bad news regarding the CBS/Paramount release of the 1972 western THE REVENGERS: The film has been released in a compromised aspect ratio of 1.78:1 rather than its full 2.35:1 theatrical Panavision aspect ratio. Oh well. I guess three-quarters of the picture is better than none at all.
EDIT: Happily, the above post is in error. I've corrected it, five posts below.

It's 2.35:1 on DVD here in Australia Bob. If interested please drop me a line: arthur@thecinemacafe.com

Just wqatched LAST HARD MEN on Encore in 1:78 and truthfully, I didn't even notice it was actually 2;25 until the titles came on.
Westerns seem to do ok in 1:78 cuz' of all those outdoor vistas

Its a great score bob, had it a few years now, great main theme.
And any film with a rare Bunch pairing of Holden and Borgnine cant be bad.

Well when you are an auteur like Dan - its tough fitting all those jobs in with being logged on permanently and starting a new thread a minute on fsm.
So much fantasy to invent, so little time.

Just found this thread, and wanted to say how fantastic it is. I can't believe the depth of knowledge here on some just great, long lost films.
In particular, I was pretty knocked out to see in on the obscure Yugoslav war film THE SOLDIER. I saw this on local TV (in Canada) back in the late 70s, but missed the title. Been trying to find out the name of that movie since I was 9 years old! So thank you!
I grew up in the last generation of non-cable/early cable and was lucky enough to have parents who didn't care what I watched! I had a small b/w TV in my room and used to stay up past midnight on many nights (even school nights) to watch whatever the CBC or the local CTV affiliate had on air after the 11 o'clock news. So, saw a lot of oddball stuff. And it was wonderful.
As my small contribution to the the thread, I'd like to point out THE BRIDGE (DIE BRUCKE), directed by Bernhard Wicki. Here's the intro from wikipedia: 1959 West German film directed by Austrian filmmaker Bernhard Wicki. It is based on the eponymous 1958 novel by journalist and writer Gregor Dorfmeister (published under the pseudonym Manfred Gregor). The story was based on an actual event, upon the personal report of a surviving veteran who in his own youth experienced a similar situation in World War II. The film was timely in West Germany as the Bundeswehr had only recently been created in 1955 with conscription in Germany beginning in 1956.
Saw this on late night TV back in the day, and loved it. Worth finding if you can. I think it as the first film made in Germany after the war that dealt with WW2 from the German point of view. Great sequences everywhere, and clean direction.
