Cinerama Holiday had its theatrical premiere in New York on February 8, 1955, and went on to become the second highest grossing film of 1955 in the United States. (Number 1 that year was Lady and the Tramp.) The first Cinerama film, This Is Cinerama, was the number 1 box office draw in the United States during its year of release in 1952. In spite of their apparent popularity with 1950s film audiences, the Cinerama films have seemingly been given short shrift for many years without any releases on home video to remind modern audiences of the reasons that these films were so popular in their day. The Cinerama process has never really been forgotten as there have been various film festivals highlighting these films over the years, even as the original film elements have been deteriorating. That may be changing with the efforts of David Strohmaier and Cinerama in restoring these treasures and preserving them for the ages. 2012 saw the releases by Flicker Alley of This Is Cinerama and Windjammer on Blu-ray, and we have been blessed in 2013 with Blu-ray releases of restored versions of Cinerama Holiday, as well as South Seas Adventure.
