In the case: set of 8 postcards based on the original UK theatrical stills

Additional Note:

I have recently acquired the Final Cut Entertainment Blu-ray, which has an AR of about 2.00:1. I expected the Blu-ray to be a wider image (extra picture at the sides), but comparing the two, the Blu-ray is the same width but cropped top and bottom. I've no idea why, as on most screens this simply replaces part of the original image with black. Basically, I am confirming that the Final Cut Blu-ray is cropped compared with this 1.85:1 version - and therefore is presumably also cropped compared with the 1.85:1 Blu-rays, although I don't own any of those to do a direct comparison.
