I like to watch old movies too. They come with black stripes on top and bottom and - as someone said recently - if there is a duel of two gunmen you might only see the guns but the heroes get cut on the left an right off the screen by the cropping. That's because it has been a film made for cinema 21:9, that got cut down for old tv format 4:3.
Yes that's often the case, but not always. Casablanca for example was filmed in 1,33:1. And of course all the old TV-productions, like inspector Morse.
