Identical specs.
There were two separately shot versions of the film: a 2.55:1 Cinemascope and a 1.37:1 Academy ratio version for cinemas not yet converted to widescreen. Despite being shown many times on TV, the latter has never been released on home video, though a pan and scan transfer of the Cinemascope version has been released on VHS, Betamax and LaserDisc.
