Do the Right Thing
Do the Right Thing is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. This new 1x9 digital transfer was created on the high-definition Spirit Datacine from the 35mm intermediate positive. The sound was mastered from the 35mm Dolby LT/RT magnetic audio tracks. This transfer was supervised and approved by director of photography Ernest Dickerson.
