Tema: [Bootleg] El hombre del brazo de oro (The Man with the Golden Arm, 1955, Otto Preminger)

Acabo de probar el disco y el aspect ratio que me sale en pantalla es 1.37. Sin problemas de reproducción en distintos reproductores.
La calidad de imagen mejora con respecto al DVD de Versus pero claro, con aspecto diferente.

He llegado a leer esto sobre el aspect ratio de la peli en una comparativa que hacen entre dvds, uno de ellos la primera edición española:

Inceed, the Warner version has better contrast and detail and all that good stuff...and is also wider, out to a near 1.85 aspect ratio. And that widescreen wasn't achieved by cropping an "academy ratio" image—as you'll note, there's more picture detail in the wider version, e.g., the rest of Seberg's ear. All the sources I've seen say that this film is in fact a 1.33 one—Preminger is well known for his expertise with Cinemascope and other widescreen formats, but didn't hesitate to revert to a less rectangular picture shape when he so desired—so could the Spanish 1.33 image have derived from a further reduction of a wider 1.33 picture? Curiouser and curiouser.
Looking for answers, I contacted Chris Fujiwara, the esteemed critic and scholar and the author of a superb recent critical biography of Preminger, The World And Its Double: The Life And Work Of Otto Preminger. (My ability to reach Chris easily is one of the things I can recommend about Facebook.) What he had to say only deepened the mystery, as it were. Quoth Chris:
"Preminger's contract with United Artists for The Man with the Golden Arm specified that he would be deliver a film in the 1.85 aspect ratio. Saint Joan was also for United Artists, but the contracts and correspondence I saw didn't specify what ratio the film would be in. But if UA insisted on it in 1955, I would think that they also expected it for Joan in 1957...
The 35mm print at the Library of Congress is 1.33. However, I think it's probable that the film was intended to be shown matted at about 1.66. One reason I say this is that the film had a European camera crew, and I believe 1.66 was pretty much the norm for matted widescreen projection by 1957.
