I'm pretty sure it *was* anamorphic by the time he saw it, as Super35
isn't used for prints. You don't get the anamorphic filming artifacts
(oval lens flare, etc.), but there are things which can clue you in to the
fact that a funky lens is involved in the projection.

When studios get really cheap, they'll start using 3-perf for release
prints of 1.85:1 movies, and maybe 2-perf for 2.35:1, and force all theater
owners to upgrade their equipment. ;->
