It was, indeed, shot in 35mm using most of the full frame of the Super 35 original. So, when making this print for TV, there was nothing lost on the top or bottom of the original image and no blow up was needed. There was, most likely, a very small amount lost on both of the sides. But not a significant amount. The 2:35 version would actually be a cropped version which would be fine if it was framed with that in mind. But I've seen wide screen movies (using Super 35 negs) that had too much desirable information noticeably missing on the bottom compared to the "full screen" version. (a miniskirt with great legs, for example, would be tragically lost)
At no time, in this movie, did I feel like there was anything missing or too tight (which would indicate a blow up). And, there was none of that annoying scanning back and forth that you would see in most non-widescreen versions.
