Thanks DB I was lucky to see this film in 70mm with 6 track magnetic stereophonic sound at the UA Hollywood Egyptian Theatre as a kid with my grandmother. Then the next day we went down to the ‘Hollywood Warner Cinerama Theatre’ to see another reserved seat Cinerama movie ‘South Seas Adventure’. A great time in Hollywood I will never forget. The Egyptian Theatre is still open but with a semi small flat screen with curtains they seldom even use. The ‘Warner Hollywood Cinerama Theatre’ just sits closed up with It’s huge Cinerama curved screen and curtains taken down. Many older Cinerama theatres played Ben Hur in 70mm on the Cinerama screens as they had run out of Cinerama films to play in 1959.
