RE: 35mm

Film 35 MM had some space allowed for the audio soundtrack, thus limiting the full use of the 24 mm width. I believe the standard aspect ration thus drops to 1.37:1, pretty close to the 4:3 ratio or 1.33:1. In addition the standard TV signal has 525 lines by 720 which similarly yields a 1.37:1 ratio, although normally only 480 lines are displayed.

I stand by my statement.
