Today I got: Airport - (1970) This was a 1992 release by MCA/Universal .. Most movies MCA/Universal transferred to VHS starting in 1991 were digitally recorded to the tape,THIS ONE IS NOT.. It has the original MCA HOME VIDEO master on it so I am hopefull its the original analogue master that THAT MOVIE was filmed in....


EDIT:

I got rid of the tape... Wasnt the original. Had letterbox all over it @ different parts.. (Only watched about 10 mins)

Ill try again and see if I can find an earlier copy that hasnt been ruined...
The later Pan/Scan releases of Airport zoomed out to letterbox at certain parts to account for the split screen effect. I think only the original 1980 MCA videocassette release eliminates the split screen to fill the entire frame.
