Walter Siegmund about Todd-AO
By Thomas Hauerslev
About the early days of Todd-AO when he met Dr. Brian OŽBrien and Mike Todd 15 October 1952.

Read the reviews.
On a very cold Tuesday morning, 8 February 1994, I embarked on a 10-hour train ride from Denmark to The Netherlands. My goal was to see a very interesting reel of 65mm film which had been discovered at the Nederlands Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. These are my notes of what happened on Wednesday 9 February 1994.
