Hello, Dolly! (1969) - Blu-ray April/2013

I don't like the look of the listing for this, which gives the aspect ratio as 2.35: 1, which would mean it's been mastered from the 35mm print in standard Panavision. But this film was, I believe, the last which Fox shot in Todd-AO, a 70mm process which because of its projected height had a screen ratio of 2.20: 1. Given the astonishing results Fox obtained in their transfers of Cleopatra and The Sound of Music (and Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, so I'm told by people who've seen it: unavailable here) all also shot in Todd-AO, I sincerely hope that the Blu-ray.com rubric is wrong.
