Will the 3-D films from the 1950s be released on Blu-ray in 3-D cropped or full frame?

Now that is has been confirmed by Digital Bits (see post # 62 - http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thread/291832/3-d-for-blu-ray-is-just-around-the-corner ), that we will have a proper 3-D system for Blu-ray in 2010, I wonder if the 3-D films from 1950s will be released full frame or cropped? I have seen some of these films at 3D film festivals and they are usually full frame.

Depends on the films. House of Wax and It Came From Outer Space should be full frame - although the latter was shown theatrically wide, it was shot for academy. Creature From The Black lagoon should be widescreen

Those old films are the main reason why I would love to have 3-D at home.

My HD Samsung is less than a year old and even if it weren't, I imagine the new 3D sets will be out of my budget for a while.  This thread comes up when I've just finished watching the Brendan Frasier Journey to the Center of the Earth in  3D on my HT setup.  I was very pleasantly surprised how well the 3D effects worked.  They were very good, except for the loss of color.  I think even more color is lost at home than in the theater.

I sure would love to see Creature From the Black Lagoon released in this format, so that I wouldn't have to wait for the far off day when we get a 3D setup.
