| | Airport: The North American 70mm Engagements The #1 novel of the year Now a motion picture! | Read more at in70mm.com The 70mm Newsletter
| Compiled by: Michael Coate | Date: 21.05.2022 | The following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter engagements of Airport in the United States and Canada. These were the cinemas worth seeking out to experience this motion picture.
The Universal release was produced by Ross Hunter and directed by George Seaton and featured an all-star cast headed by Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin, Helen Hayes and George Kennedy.
Out of the hundreds of films released during 1970, Airport was among only eleven released with 70mm prints (four from 65mm origination, including Airport, plus seven blow-ups).
The 70mm prints of Airport featured full-frame imagery (from 65mm Todd-AO cinematography) and discrete six-channel stereophonic sound.
