* Prints of Frank Zappa's ''200 Motels'' (1971) are printed full frame. Some scenes (in particular the "Dental Hygiene Dilemma" animated sequence) look as if they were intended to be projected full-frame. Other scenes - particularly the scene described under the 'Aspect Ratio' heading in [http://sotcaa.org/editnews/200-Motels-On-DVD.html this DVD review] - are clearly framed for 1.66. In this case, ''this'' projectionist screened the film in 1.66, because it seemed likely that that's the ratio theatrical audiences in 1971 would have seen it in. 1.37 would have been an equally valid choice. | * Prints of Frank Zappa's ''200 Motels'' (1971) are printed full frame.

===Note on Hollywood films from the 1950s=== | |||
Some Hollywood films made in the late 1950s, after the rise of widescreen, can be played in either 1.37 or widescreen without suffering. In most cases there is an obvious correct choice. Nonetheless, there is much lively debate among cinephiles about the "correct" aspect ratio of many Hollywood films from this period. We recommend that projectionists steer clear of these discussions! | |||
Instead, focus on the print in front of you (especially any references to aspect ratio written on or printed into the leader) and on primary sources (such as interviews with the filmmaker or historical promotions material). | |||
