Where are these frames coming from? Youtube?
Robert, what source did you use to view the film at 1.37:1 and matted to 1.66:1?
Surely anything less than an actual print or Criterion's upcoming presentation is going to be showing a lot less image?
The copy on youtube for instance is surely going to be missing a lot on all four sides compared to Criterion's 1.37:1. Meaning any matting done to it is largely useless when discrediting 1.66:1. Same goes for any old open matte transfer done years and years ago (laserdisc? DVD?).
I'm confident any issues that crop up in matting an old transfer are not going to be issues when matting a print or Criterion's new transfer.
