Double-sided disc. Includes 12-page brochure. This is the film in its original aspect ratio. ■ Aspect ratio (Original screen format). Gone with the Wind (1939) was originally shot in the standard 1.37:1 aspect ratio, also known as the Academy Ratio, but later releases were presented in a variety of formats. The film's aspect ratio was adjusted for re-releases, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, to appear wider (MGM1967), but this cropping removed portions of the original image. A 1989 restoration returned the film to its original 1.37:1 aspect ratio, although it is now often projected in a 1.66:1 ratio (due to image stretching). ■ Aspect ratio (this DVD) The widescreen aspect ratio 1.78:1 in this case refers to the original screen format with black bars on the left and right; no images are covered or cropped from the original. There is no option to choose between 4:3 or 1.78:1. ■ A digital full screen widescreen crop of this film does not exist.
