Home Release
Allen wanted to preserve Willis's compositions and insisted that the aspect ratio be preserved when the film was released on video (an unusual request in a time when widescreen films were normally panned and scanned for TV and video release). As a result, all copies of the film on video (and most television broadcasts) were letterboxed, originally with a gray border.
Manhattan was first released on Blu-ray on January 24, 2012 alongside Allen's 1977 film Annie Hall. Both releases included the films original theatrical trailer.
