Carmen Sevilla and Ricardo Montalban in DESERT WARRIOR (1957) 

Someone contacted me about DESERT WARRIOR. He explained that there are two versions of this film. I didn't know this. This was one of the first Euro films filmed in widescreen but, like THE ROBE (1953), there's also a standard version of it. The standard version, this one in Spanish, is, as you can see, weathered and discoloured. I didn't have time to watch both the widescreen version and this one side by side to spot any differences. I will in the future. If there are any discrepancies, I will note them. This is all quite cool actually. I've written extensively on this and made the first Fan Dub with the widescreen version and it's everywhere now.
