 Soft-matted widescreen is easily mistaken for full-frame 1.37 - don't be fooled!
+===Rules of thumb===
+* With very few exceptions, Japanese films made before the late 1970s are either 1.37 or 'scope
+* Films originally released for TV exhibition or on 16mm are more likely than others to be natively 1.37
 ===Note on films from the 1950s===
+Some films made in the 1950s but after the rise of widescreen can be played in either 1.37 or widescreen without suffering. In some cases there is an obvious correct choice. However, during this transitional period many films were framed by their makers with the expectation that they would play in both widescreen cinemas and in cinemas that hadn't yet updated their equipment for widescreen. Lively debate about the "correct" aspect ratio exists around many films from this period. In situations from this period where the correct choice is unclear, we recommend considering (1) how the print looks on the bench or on the screen (perhaps looking at the film through the aperture plates for the ratios you're considering), (2) historical resources and primary sources (such as interviews with the film director), and (3) what the consensus on the internet seems to be (try searching for your film's title and the phrase "aspect ratio"),
