Last December I complained about what I believed was an intention by Criterion to to present The Manchurian Candidate within a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The info was wrong — the forthcoming Bluray is matted at 1.75:1. I didn’t imagine the 1.85 so I’m guessing it was posted on the Criterion website page and then changed. In any event, 1.75 is an acceptable format.
