It is a good show. I recently saw it in a seventy MM projection,
but the first time , projected in cenerama at the cenerama dome was the whole show, quite an impact with three film projectors filling a semi wrap around screen, with sound in a theater large enough to have a balcony. The score on that one is pretty strong, sharing in the sensation made back when this movie changed sci fi forever.
Before this movie, sci fi was guys in silver suits fighting monsters.
The theatre is still there, a hollywood feature, but I wonder how many cenerama prints are still left, not many movies could budget three cameras and count on only a handful of theatres capable of showing the format.
Always dug it that model building on that movie provided the seed money to get michell turntables into production, because I own one.
Almost forgot, went to see Ben Hur at the cenerama dome, with charton heston as a featured guest. When he arrived at the far side of the parking lot 50 year old ladies in dresses broke into a full sprint, pumping arms to cover ground. I would have bet money those PTA looking fans could not move like that, they had on sensible dresses and heels, and then broke into a sudden sprint Heston was old at the time, but getting around on his own, no problem. Good movie, but EDward Robinson's work doesn't hold up, laughable.
