WARNING! "EVITA" IS STILL NOT IN ANAMORPHIC
This edition includes the two movies on two separate discs and "Evita" is still the exact same disc everyone has been overstocked with and can buy 50 copies for $10 each at Virgin. I bought this edition just assuming "Evita" would finally be formatted and watchable on a 16 by 9 tv and I don't know if I'm entitled to a refund or not so right now I'm out $18 and this distributor needs to stop being so lazy repackaging DVDs printed 10 years ago and not even watchable on a modern tv especially considering the quality of the film. So "The Wiz," "Titanic" and soon "Mrs. Doubtfire" are finally in anamorphic but this movie's still dragging behind with cinemascope-within-4:3 output that looks terrible on wide panels yet the movie is apparently good enough that it was one of the first to be released on DVD 10 years ago. I don't care about bonus features just somebody please release this movie formatted. Having said all this, it's a magnificent film. I have not seen "Frida."
