MGM faces class action lawsuit over misleading aspect ratios on James Bond DVDs

A major legal controversy is swirling around MGM DVD copies with over 300 titles being affected by an aspect ratio problem - reports DarkHorizons.

Claims have gone up that state MGM Home Video has been misleading about the films they're marketing as widescreen in the USA, rather cutting the top and bottom off of pan and scan transfers and billing it as widescreen, as the aspect ratio is still correct.

Amongst the titles that may have been affected are five James Bond movies - "Dr No", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger", "Live And Let Die", and "The Man With The Golden Gun".
