As expected, the BBC 4 version of THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE was cropped to something around 2.00:1, as per Arrow's recent DVD and Blu-ray edition. This was at the behest of the film's idiot DP, Vittorio Storaro, who favours this ratio and has applied it retrospectively on virtually all his films for home video, regardless of whether they were framed that way at the time (which TBWTCP certainly wasn't).
