I saw 2001 twice last year at the Bfi Southbank in 70mm and as they own the print and have put in new Kinoton 35/70mm projectors in NFT 1 and still have projectionists they will still run the 70mm print. Also the print I have seen at Bradford is a much sharper 70mm print then the one the BFI...

Myself I would not mind seeing some 70mm pink prints as you still have the 6- Track Audio on the bigscreen but as it does not look it best and the picture is more important than the sound so it goes to Digital.Last year the BFI Southbank did not show Far from the Madding Crowd because of this...

Re Bradford, the old 70mm prints have gone pink and have other problems so they now do not show Vintage printsmaybe only on Cineramacana on sunday mornings. I still think it is the best cinema we have in the UK and weare still lucky to see film in all its original formats as 99% of cinemas do...

I only saw a 35mm Mono with Finnish subtitles print last year at the BFI Southbank , have always wanted to see this in Cinerama.

This years WSW at Bradford list of films is just up including IAMMMMW in Cinerama and T2 also in 70mm , looks a great Programme.

I only have the UK dvd of Doctor Dolittle which is 2.20:1 but does not have the Todd AO credit, I also hadthe USA dvd but it was only 2.35:1.Does the German Blu have the Todd AO credit ?thanks.

The blu should look fantasic if taken from the 65mm neg. The photography is its best asset , I saw this in 70mm with a 35mm sep mag sound a few years ago but the PQ was not as good as a print I saw from the 65mm neg in the late 70s.

If its all Digital why put 70 in the credit?

Thanks again John, I have seen The Lion in Winter twice in 70mm and the soundtrack was Mono.

Hi Oliver, The Master as far as I know only showed in DCP at Bradford I saw it in London , it was the worse 70mm film I have ever seen, but the PQ was good.

Thanks for that John, We love to know what else they showed in D-150.thanks Derek.

I saw How the West Was Won projected from a 2K DCP on the Cinerama screen at Bradford a few years ago,it looked better than I thought it would , it was badly cropped as a flat not Smilebox version is onlyavailable in the DCP version.When I saw Samsara in 4K on the flat screen it was one of the...

thanks Oliver, I remember going to the Odeon Marble Arch during the run of CE3 Kind and the chief showing methe lovely D-150 lenses in their lovely wooden boxes, also he says Richard Vetter came over to check the picture outfor Star Wars.Of course CE3 Kind was only run on the Std 70mm screen by...

I would also like to add that The Pictureville Cinema in Bradford uses an original D-150 Curvulon Lens whenthey project 70mm prints on the Cinerama screen,they could be the last cinema in the world doing this.

Hi Douglas, I missed The Champ at the Empire I heard the blow up was terrible so im glad its still 109 for me. Best Derek.

Star Wars was shown on the FULL D-150 screen at the Odeon Marble Arch someone from Fox checked the picture out, please see my item over at in 70mm.com about this. Also whatever you think about Star Wars in got Dolby Stereo on 35/70MM in many cinemas and a lot of 70mm screenings in 70mm in a lot...

Its me again, I just remembered the short season of 70mm screenings at the Astoria Charing Cross in 1976 over 7films and also at the Dominion before it also finished as a cinema, and the all night 70mm showings of the Alienfilms at the BFI Imax and at Cambridge Picture House.I was on holiday in...
