GET-TV- Showing in Pan and Scan with LETTERBOX BARS!!!

Right now, as I type, GET-TV is showing the 1973 LOST HORIZON. As a double feature- after the ORIGINAL b/w 1930s version. Perhaps the 1st time that has been done??? What is troubling is, that in 2014- they are showing a PAN AND SCAN version that is SQUEEZED DOWN top-to-bottom with LETTERBOX BARS!!! GET-TV has shown many widescreen films correctly letterboxed. Who made the call on this one??? That said, I'm still enjoying one of my favorite films, in one of the first TV showings outside of TCM in many years. They have more showings scheduled throughout November 2014. I hope they get this corrected.

That is cool they're running it. Was it the edited version. Both the blu-ray and DVD are the full versions.
