Actually, it was originally released on home video at 1.33:1, which is how Kubrick wanted it (this is before most people had widescreen TVs). It wasn't shot with an anamorphic 2.35 Panavision lens, afaik, so the old TV version was just an "unmatted" format. They've "rematted" it down for the current release. It's much much closer to the theatrical version now. And I am happy.
