Movie Night: This is Cinerama.

Review #259: This is Cinerama.

Cast
Lowell Thomas. Directed by Merian C. Cooper.

Review
Cinerama simultaneously projected images from three synchronized 35 mm projectors onto a huge, deeply-curved screen, with this being the first Cinerama film (Other being How the West Was Won) How did I see this? On a special presentation by TCM will a reconstruction to the nearest degree in Smilevision to make it feel like Cinerama. How is it? It's decent. It shows some real good shots and real nice things (The only credited person for the film is Lowell Thomas, who is seen in the first few minutes.) It's a film that was revolutionary for its time that influenced widescreen as we know today.

Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
