Criterion is obviously planning on bringing out a Bluray of On The Waterfront. If they follow the lead of guys like Bob Furmanek and issue this classic film, which has been exclusively seen for the last 55-plus years in a 1.33 or 1.37 to 1 aspect ratio…if Criterion issues Eliza Kazan‘s 1954 classic within a 1.85 to 1 aspect ratio, as Furmanek The Terrible claims it should be, then they will have blackened their name in the annals of Hollywood lore, and there can be no forgiveness. This will be, trust me, The Mother of All Aspect Ratio Battles.
