Right on bro, I haven't any 2.55:1 DVDs anamorphic to view and see what my HDTV screen will be like. Pre-ordered an waiting to see those big green aligator eyes of the Nautilus sea monster, it was at our towns theater in 1954.
Scared by the in color poster in the glass outside the Theater, this 7 year old kid was really excited, it was his first movie to be seen ever and the kid was *me*. Taken by my father he paid the 25¢ for children and 35¢ for adult tickets, next year it will be 50 years ago; that I first seen this exciting *first* run movie.
I a now 56 I still remember the line we had to wait, good childhood memories, from a great movie to be released on May 20th 2003 on DVD. I hope this clears up the thread for the people that didn't understand it. I am so excited to see a movie on DVD from 49 years ago.

Ok, I wanted to add something else.
Danol, I just read your new signature, and I wanted to ask you something. Do you realize that there is a huge difference between using perfect grammar/punctuation, and simply constructing coherent sentences and ideas that people can understand?

Does not remembering what the teacher was wearing the first day of kindergarten in 1952, or the teachers subject in first grade 1953 or more english lessons I got in 3rd grade in 1954 make me an automatic "CRAAZEE" man because I don't remember them anymore?
I was born in February of 1947 2 years after World War 2! I am a baby boomer, and because I live in the coal regions, I am AKA a 'coal cracker'. Only people that call me "CRAAZEE" are much younger forum english professors from NYUK. New York University of Knuckleheads, made popular by The Three Stooges. LOL

Caiman, D-Ball - be careful with Danol or he'll send you an e-mail claiming you're "cyberstalking" him. Oooh, scary.
As for The Great Escape, it has indeed been overmatted, but there are foreign special editions with new anamorphic transfers. I believe the foreign versions are in their correct ratio.
Also, Ben-Hur is 2.55:1. Though, there, the picture is a little cropped on all four sides...

BTW, the original question made no sense to me either.

But it seems we're both wrong. From IMDB:
Aspect ratio
2.20 : 1 (70 mm non-anamorphic prints)
2.35 : 1 (35 mm anamorphic prints)
2.76 : 1 (70 mm anamorphic prints)
