About this product

Product Information

This 1952 documentary was created in order to showcase a new filming and exhibition style known as Cinerama. The technique created an image nearly three times as large as traditional movie screens, and was launched right at the beginning of the boom in the sales of televisions in order to help the movie business differentiate itself from this new form of media. THIS IS CINERAMA features a number of images designed to accentuate the vastness and beauty of the form and includes footage from airplanes as well as images from some of the most celebrated international landmarks including the Edinburgh Castle and the La Scala opera house.

Still Enjoyable
Got a kick out of it! Took me back to when I saw the original in a CINERAMA THEATER. Liked the curved screen effect but it was nothing like seeing the real thing. I screened it on a home theater screen of 100" but the thrill was still gone. We're not likely to see the likes of this again. Even IMAX isn't as encompassing!! Worth watching for nostalgic reasons.

Excellent, money well spent
I was a projectionist in several Birmingham cinemas in the early sixties so finding this bluray was just fantastic.
