I can just imagine what “The African Queen” would have looked if it was filmed in Cinemascope. Other films that I would have liked to see in scope are “Samson & Delilah”, “Quo Vadis”, “The Greatest Show On Earth” and “Singing In The Rain.” I know there are others, but all but Samson were filmed...

The African Queen was released in 1951 and was filmed before the advent of widescreen. The aspect ratio for the film was 1.37. The showing on TCM was not pan-scan. That was the proper way to show it.
