Classic movie nudity lost due to the death of the 4:3 format?
I was inspired for this thread because I've noticed various older movies that showed a little bit more due to the 4:3 format back during the days of VHS that are being lost to time due to HD releases of the same movie in 16:9 widescreen that crops off the nudity in the lower part of the frame. I can't seem to find a good source documenting this sort of thing so I was hoping maybe we could get a list going here (and hopefully some video links as well). Here's some I can think of right now:
-Kathleen Kinmont: Brief full-frontal in Fraternity Vacation that's chopped off in the widescreen and HD releases. -Beverly D'Angelo: Additional topless shots in the shower in National Lampoon's Vacation that are cut off in the widescreen and HD releases. -Heather Graham: Brief full-frontal during sex scene in Killing Me Softly that's cropped off in the widescreen and HD releases. -Kelly Preston: Slightly less visible nudity in Mischief in the HD version compared to the 4:3 version. There's also Kristi Somers in Tomboy but she wore a patch so the 4:3 version doesn't really add much more (other than more of her thighs, I suppose). I'm not sure if there's any bits of Kim Bassinger cropped out in The Getaway since I can't find any 4:3 versions online. Did she show full frontal in the shower in the 4:3 version? I'll try to jog my memory and add some more, but please, if anyone else has examples feel free to comment. |

A lot of 'Prison Girls'... an Uschi film... was maybe not cut, but censored by the format used by mainstream 'Home Video'... yes... MGM !

-Salma Hayek: In Ask the Dust most of her bush shots are cropped out in the widescreen version. |

My first thought was the Alice Krige full-frontal in Ghost Story (1981).
I found a thread similar to this elsewhere. If you put the terms below into a search engine it should turn up. dvdtalk 503022 alice krige nude Last edited by Billiwog; December 6th, 2018 at 05:12 AM.. |

This is also affecting some classic porn when bumped up to HD. I am grateful for the upgrade to Taboo I but...the 16x9 format chops off some parts of Kay Parker's body. At times it also seems claustrophobic in some scenes. Oh well, I still have the original.

Monique Gabrielle in Bachelor Party - in the modern versions her she is cropped and only visible from the bellybutton up when she sits on the bed, but in the video you see her from the thighs up (including pubic hair).
