Must have been very very cool to be able to watch these on the huge Cinerama screen!
I take it you also watched Khartoum that way?

Yes I saw Khartoum on the Cinerama screen as well, along with everything else shown in Cinerama from 1962. The frst Cinerama film I saw was HOW THE WEST WAS WON which was a wonderful experience but I was too young to have seen any of the Cinerama travelogues.
Just before they premiered HTWWW, the Casino had a rerun season of all the travelogues, each for a run of a few months. That was my first experience of the process. Sorry you missed that, Doug.
