I could watch Prospero walking through his library on a loop for hours.

I guess I should look for a laserdisc version, as I do have an LD player...

If you find one, let me know its quality? It would be nice if some non-cropped version was out there; it was evident from the text that ran off the screen to either side that it was not designed for 1.33:1. And it's such a visually bursting movie, I can't imagine there wasn't something going on in those frames.
