A Silver Screen Special Edition: Ladies and Gentlemen: This is Cinerama

In the history of widescreen film, not many other titles are more important than This is Cinerama. To know that we will be able to watch this historic film in our home theaters is certainly a major event for classic film fans of all ages. Unfortunately, Cinerama played the theaters before I was born, but one day I will be at one of the festivals. This year it was just too late that I learned one was being held in Los Angeles and most of the center sections sold out very quickly. That is where I would want to be. One of the people who has worked so hard to keep Cinerama alive is Dave Strohmaier, a man dedicated to the format and literally working night and day to put these films back together, release these films, and hold the Cinerama festivals where a few of us lucky people get to see Cinerama for the very first time.
