Real Cinerama was 3-strip. But, How The West Was Won had some scenes filmed in 70mm Ultra Panavision (the white water raft scene) and others came from The Alamo (70mm Todd-AO) and Raintree County (MGM Camera 65 - same as Ultra Panavision) and then were converted to 3-strip. It was decided that since some of the scenes were not filmed in 3-strip and the audience did not complain about it - How The West Was Won was the Boxoffice champ that year, that all films promoted as "In CINERAMA" could now be filmed in 70mm. The join lines were gone but, it wasn't real Cinerama anymore.

To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 9:26 PM This raises an interesting point. Do films that were shot in 70mm (and its variants) and projected via a single projector on the Cinerama screens qualify as real Cinerama (despite the famed concertina logo on posters and what this adds to value of say 2001 posters)? Isn't real Cinerama the three camera/three projector set up as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinerama Recently, in Australia, so-called IMAX screens have opened in several multiplexes, but it's a trade name only, and doesn't reflect the true nature of a purpose built IMAX theatre, nor does it come close to really relicating the IMAX experience of 100% IMAX shot films. Anybody spot any errors in this Wiki article?

Bruce just sold a linen backed one sheet for only $99 for IAMMMMW. The posters for 2001: a space odyssey seem to sell for a lot more - even the non Cinerama roadshow ones. --- On Tue, 4/7/09, Phil Edwards <[email protected]> wrote: From: Phil Edwards <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] slides worth more than movie poster - It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 6:22 PM No real surprise. Not are these not just studio issue 35mm publicity transparencies that were issued for colour magazine use at the time, but extremely scarce behind the scenes shots with their own film-connected provenance for what is arguably the most popular Cinerama film of all time, and the ONE Cinerama film that has developed an enormous cult following over the years.

I am a big IAMMMMW fan and was definitely shocked at the ending prices each time. There is something to be said about that kind of item. They are totally unique. It's a captured moment in time and I was fascinated by the images.
