I would like to buy a DVD of a French comedy I saw in theaters many years ago, but I can't remember if it's "La Chevre" or "Les Comperes," or even something else. I remember there was a scene in which the bumbling star stole a banana and was then carted off to prison because the police suspected him of murder. The misunderstanding was what made it so funny, with the star, whom I think was Pierre Richard, exclaiming on how strict the laws were in this strange town for petty theft. Can anyone here ...

Remade less successfully as Pure Luck, the first of Pierre Richard and Gerard Depardieu's three teamings for writer-director Francis Veber, La Chevre is still the best of the bunch.

According to the film's IMDb entry, which has been updated and now appears to be accurate, the original aspect ratio (OAR) is 1.66:1 (5:3).
Kino's DVD is specified as having a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, which makes no sense.
An anamorphic transfer of a 1.66:1 film, when viewed on a 16:9 (1.77:1) widescreen TV, should be full height, and have narrow side-bars.
Can anyone comment on how the Kino DVD renders this film on a 16:9 TV?

Two incomperable French comedians join in an amusing and action-packed farce to make you feel how lucky it is to be unlucky. If you like light-hearted French comedy encased in an improbable but amusing plot then this movie is for you.
