I thought I remembered something about a Cinerama theater in Montreal, so I asked a very reliable source (my mother the movie buff). She told me that the Imperial on Bleury street used to be a Cinerama. It has been so from at least 1953, when she saw a screening of "This is Cinerama" [she told me the bob sleigh sequence made quite an impression on her], until 1962, when she saw "How the West Was Won". She told me as well that she saw the next year in the same theater "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" which was shot in Ultra Panavision. So I presume Cinerama converted most of its theaters from the original Panarama system to Ultra Panavision. I'm sure Pierre Veronneau (at http://cri.histart.umontreal.ca/grafics/) would have more info on this in his book "Montréal, ville de cinéma" (Cinémathèque québécoise). On a similar note, does anyone know of a widescreen process that would have been around in the mid 70s (possibly developed by Disney) which might have played with the room temperature for effect (as I remember it as an 8 year old boy in 1976 at Terre des Hommes in Montreal) and created the sensation of being completely immersed in the film world. I remember a roller coaster sequence which was totally convincing (I was clinging to person next to me, fearing I would fall into the screen - ... mmm ... I guess that was my "Arrivee d'un train a la Ciotat"). Well, there goes 2 minutes of nostalgia, - Rene ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
