Yay Chris. 16x9 letterbox is put out there to show the original intent of the director using a wide screen and most channels now honor that. And I speak as a tv director. Just watch Laurence of Arabia in 4x3 to see how the wide-screen vision of a director is squashed.

If you have to have the CRT filling version in 4x3, the best bet...and cheapest, is to find a VHS/LD copy of the film from the 80's in 4x3. Also known as "center-cut" or "pan-and-scan". Besides, this version gets you in to another form of tv history preservation.
