Not by my understanding,have read that sprocket hole pitch is slightly different for cine neg and print stock,but no mention of width difference.circa 1940 Kodak listed 135 cassettes and a daylight loading spool of 35mm film for Contax cameras (ref 235 or something similar). All 35mm still film was originally standard cine stock and the original Leica evolved from a device to enable test exposures on early cine stock to be carried out simply,so that the movie could be exposed correctly.The only difference between cine and still stock that developed fairly early on (1920s/30s?) was the need for specific emulsions for still stock.Nowadays the cine stock is lubricated and emulsions much more specialised. I suspect the reference might be poetic license.I remember reading a detective novel set in late 30s.The hero ran around in a tuned supercharged Bentley,his man servant did the tuning (ex-army 1914/18).At 100 mph he could drop it into FIRST for extra acceleration!!Must have made quite a noise!
