See the movie Gohatto... I just thought it was another chanbara. Luckily
I borrowed it from the library and did not buy it.

No, one is a wide screen version and the other is normal, another way to
express it is 4:3 (normal) 16:9 (wide). (I work with too much video!)
Wide screen was uncommon until the 50's, most older films were shot in
the 4:3 ratio. (former film major also)
