Small error: 16:9 is a video and television aspect ratio. The aspect ratio of standard widescreen films is 1.85:1. That's why when you watch these movies on your widescreen television (that is 16:9), you still get thin black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

I know this is already three years old, but someone needs to point out that Mr. Benzine leaves out the most common film aspect ratio used for fifty years (pre-digital), while incorrectly asserting that most movies were made in the widescreen/anamorphic/2.35:1 aspect ratio. This is simply not true. That shape (and the lenses it requires) was reserved for spectacles and big action films (with slightly bigger budgets), while all the dramas and comedies (constituting the majority of studio releases) were being made in the most common aspect ratio of all, the one that's never mentioned here: 1.85:1. Early on Benzine refers to 16:9, but not only is this a term that was never referred to before the late nineties/early 2000s, its equivalent is 1.77:1, which is not a film format at all. It is, however, close enough to 16:9 that movies shot in 1.85:1 either lose a little bit of image on the right and left, gain a very thin letterbox top and bottom, or (say it ain't so!) get slightly squeezed. But given the dominance of 1.85:1 material out there, it strikes me as bad form to never mention it.

Just a slight correction, Technicolor was actually replaced in the 50s with 1 roll color film, that uses 3 layers of color/light sensitive material on 1 role, not 3 separate ones. Which would mean that you can put it in the same camera as you use for black and white film, which was waaaay smaller than a Technicolor camera. And THAT technology was used until digital.

This is a top notch explanation yet color films were still rare until the late 1950's. We had three breakthrough films around 1938-39 in color ( Gone w/ the Wind, Adventures of Robin Hood, Wizard of Oz)....but black and white remained the norm until mid to late 50's. Low budget films were still being made in B&W up to about 1964. So it is risky to claim that the Golden Age had color films as a major component, since color was rare. I assume cost was the deciding factor ?

Actually, at least in North America, widescreen as a cinema standard generally refers to an aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which is slightly wider than the now-standard TV ratio of 16:9 (1.77:1). Despite how common 16:9 TV screens are, 1.85:1 is still the standard for cinema, which is why you can often see slight letterboxing when you play theatrically released widescreen movies on a 16:9 TV. This is also why 4K and 2K are technically different formats from 1080p and UHD. The former are cinema formats (1.85:1), and the latter are TV formats (16:9). It's still uncommon for films to be projected theatrically at 16:9, although I'm sure that will change. Also confusing: of the two most common aspect ratios used today, widescreen is the less wide (the other is scope, 2.35:1).

So this makes me wonder about the oft-repeated claim that movies went "widescreen" as a direct result of television. Any opinion on that? It's pretty obvious that TV's common 4:3 ratio was chosen specifically to match the Academy Aperture format. But wider movies had existed before TV's release. Is there actual evidence that wide screen movies (other than Cinerama and similar ultra-wide, ultra-expensive formats,) were a direct response to television?
