O Julgamento do Capitão Dreyfus

This movie was not shot in widescreen. It was converted to CinemaScope in the final print after having been shot in standard Academy ratio, much like some movies, which are "matted" after having been shot in Academy ratio. The process used was contemporary of SuperScope and a forerunner of Super 35. It was filmed using spherical lenses at an aspect ratio of 1.37:1. In the printing process, the images were cropped to a height of two perforations, giving them an aspect ratio of 2.36:1. The images were then stretched vertically to a height of four perforations, at which point they conformed to the standard CinemaScope-2 format.

[Scrolling Prologue] In 1894 Alfred Dreyfus, a French Army officer, stood before a military tribunal accused of treason. The outcome of this trial, a trial that created an international sensation, is a brave chapter in the history of France, that nation which first proclaimed the Rights of Man.
