^ nice one
this applies to almost all films made after 1953, whether from the UK or elsewhere, and also to the opening credits, and the rest of the film
(actually I think Academy ratio was far more prevalent in the UK than the US for a decade or so afterwards?)
saw the BFI print of Never Let Go (1960) at SFF yesterday - they pulled the curtains across to close off the frame, but imdb says 1.66:1 -- however the closing titles have a big thick margin on either side. /toomuchtimeonilx
