I don't expect that from a service (even for a 1960's film) especially when it is available on 16:9 dvd remastered on their own service)

Perhaps in the future they'll get better contracts as most rentals go the way of streaming and the new £4.99 streaming only package hopefully is a sign of that..
I agree Kymmy, I too took the 30 day trial offer and streamed the films I watched through my xbox. Was not impressed with the quality nor the titles on offer. Cancelled the trial after a week and only 2 films watched.

Until I can stream in HD it's not for me.
