The Ambassador was a roadshow house in the 1960s, at which I had the pleasure of viewing several films in 70mm, including Cleopatra, My Fair Lady, Dr. Zivago and The Bible. Great 6-track magnetic sound and a splendid screen image.
The Rivoli’s deeply-curved Todd-AO screen was removed long before the 1980s, although it may have been re-installed. I saw the premiere engagement of “The Sound of Music” at the Rivoli in 1965 on a large, but flat screen, in Toidd-AO, which was no longer being projected onto curved screens in most 70mm theaters. Thanks for a great site.
