This is quite possibly the best explanation and set of examples I’ve seen for why you should always watch the widescreen version of films rather than the pan-and-scan (or standard or fullscreen or whatever fancy names they use to sell it) mutilations. When I saw this on TCM the other day, I was frantic to figure out how to upload it to show it to people, and lo and behold someone on YouTube had already done so. Wonderful.

The Big Sleep - Humphrey Bogart, Dorothy Malone, and a bookshop interlude.
Cinephile, music lover, internet junkie, gamer, and recovering academic (English Lit). Currently I live in Los Angeles. I moved here for the low cost of living. Somehow that is not working out so well. Actually, I moved here to be in a big city with plenty of stuff to do. I needed lots of film stuff, lots of music stuff, and lots of warm, preferably dry, weather. LA met all the criteria, and so far I still completely love being here.
