What's the original aspect ratio; 2.35:1 or 1.85:1?


IMDB's info, specs on the German DVD release and message board posts referencing the Japanese LD say it's 2.35:1, but the UK DVD says 1.85:1? Anyone know the true original shooting aspect ratio? I know Norrington is fond of the anamorphic 2.35:1 true widescreen ratio (as he stated on the THE LAST MINUTE DVD audio commentary track) so it wouldn't surprise me if 2.35:1 was correct, but judging by the P&S version I saw on the R1 DVD it didn't really appear to me to be from a 2.35:1 image (at least not from an anamorphic one as usually you can tell pretty easily) but I very well could be wrong. Anyone know better?

It's 2.35:1 - and the UK DVD is in that ratio too (the 1.85:1 is a misprint). Hope that helps!
