I have a couple of questions regarding your list of 70mm productions.

• "Exodus". You have this listed as Super Panavision 70 but I have always understood this movie to be a blow-up i.e. Panavision 70. I checked my trailer and it states Panavision. Halliwell and The United Artists Story state Super Panavision 70 but The International Encyclopedia lists it as Panavision 70.

• "West Side Story". Here we have the same problem as all my reference books lists this as Panavision 70 and the 70mm clips I have definitely suggest it to be a blow-up. I am sure it was billed as Panavision 70 when it first came out but memory can play tricks.

Do you have definitive information on the prime photography of these two titles?
