Lawrence of Arabia - more information

12.109.186.150

"Lawrence of Arabia" was originally released in 70mm Super-Panavision with 6 track sound. It was shot with a 65mm "non-squeezed" Super Panavision system (same as Todd-AO), and originally released to theaters as a 70mm non-squeezed print. Subsequent releases of the film were done with 35mm 2:1 squeeze prints. So, depending upon whether the DVD was made from an original 70mm print (doubtful) or from a 35mm release print, the aspect ratio can vary. However, the fact that the original sound track was 6-track allowed the film to be successfully converted to surround sound.
