This Is Cinerama
1952 RARE original program for the original introductory Cinerama movie This Is Cinerama, which featured real life point of views of spectacular wide screen effect things like riding a rollercoaster... Has great explanation of how this three camera process worked, and of the folks involved.. (Merian C. Cooper 's fame goes back to King Kong and early silent documentary films like Grass; Lowell Thomas was also a widely known announcer / public figure, etc... )
This film was a huge hit/ novel new technology was used to get folks back in movie theaters / away from new sensation of TV....This film introduced the public to this new wide screen process that would also be used for maintstream fiction films eventually up through 2001 A Space Oddessy (1968), etc...
this rare program is from its very earliest days... This copy was withdrawn from a college library.. Booklet is complete, with no missing or torn pages; cover shows some rub wear, etc... has splits along spine at the top and bottom, but still a great reference/ record of an important moment in film history...Cinerama helped establish a wider format / aspect ratio / wide screen for films that changed how movies were shot for ever... Great bit of hard to find cinema / film history.
