 02.02.2011This 70mm version was screened in the Easter Holidays (early April), in 1971, in Madrid. At the time, Madrid have 3 Cinerama theatres in the city. The Albéniz-Cinerama. The Real Cinema-Cinerama, and the Proyecciones-Cinerama. I dont remember in witch of them I saw the film. Incidentally, in another theatre was screened the 70mm version of "The Robe". I attented to both Shows. A year later "Quo Vadis", in 70mm, was screened, also for Easter Holidays, at the Cinema Pedregal 70 theatre in México City. All the best, Miguel | |

 25.02.2011I discovered a rare poster of the German film "Die Nibelungen", perhaps it will interest you. In this case it is the English 70mm version of the film with the title "Whom the Gods wish to destroy" (part1 and part2 together - in Germany there were two parts of the film "Die Nibelungen", additional titled A: "Siegfried" in 1966 and B: "Kriemhilds Rache" in 1967) which was shown in the UK and in Mexico as far as I am informed. I admire your work. A nice weekend... Cheers Gerhard Witte, Berlin | |
