Paula, that's as good a description of how 1.85:1 widescreen works as I've ever read. Good job!
It's interesting in Hondo how with some of the landscape cropped from the full-frame shots, we actually notice those landscapes more! It's quite obvious that the picture was composed to be seen this way.
Excellent write-up about Hondo by Toby at the 50 Westerns from the '50s blog.

Make sure to read the comments.
Thanks, Paula! Please excuse my (since-corrected) confusion of Archie Stout and Winton Hoch.
The Blu-ray is wonderful. You won't be disappointed.
