The film ‘Ice Station Zebra’ is on the TV and was made in 1968. The picture is as good (if not better) as any current production I see on e.g Netflix. How is it so sharp when it was way before the days of HD?

It was shot in Cinemascope. That’s a 65mm film format with a 2.35 – 1 aspect ratio. That was the 4k of the day.
