Around The World In 80 Days (1956) (1 Viewer)

I would agree that the stream on HBO Max is MUCH better than the DVD. Also better on the same platform is The Music Man - the Blu-ray is hideous and all yellow - what's streaming removes almost all the yellow and with a little tweaking it could be perfect color.

I had the pleasure of seeing 80 Days on a Cinerama Screen several times; in the late 1960s - early 1970s. It was a great experience and impressed me no end. I really enjoy the work of David Niven and Robert Newton. I have the DVD, which I enjoy, but, at least for me, the small (big monitor) screen experience brings out the shortcomings in the story, which on the Cinerama screen did not bother me. I would still happily purchase a Blu-Ray that had been through the WB process to maximise the elements.

I loved seeing movies at The Wilshire, what a beautiful theater.

I'm somewhat envious of those who've seen this in 70mm... the only time I've seen this on the big screen was a screening 20 years ago of that cut-down version from the early 80's. The 35mm print had decent-ish color, at least. It'd be interesting (to people like me) to find out details on how that shortened version came to be, as I don't think it existed before 1983 or so.

I believe it was cut for general release.

I grew up not far from there, so I was there quite often and saw many movies there. Superb sound and projection no matter what they were showing. I saw Sleeping Beauty there, Trapeze, Exodus road show, Birdman of Alcatraz, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, To Kill a Mockingbird and of course the biggie, The Sound of Music, which ran there for over two years I think, Star, Far from the Madding Crowd and on and on.

Yep. I saw that double bill there, too. Memorable. I took my highschool sweetheart who had never seen either movie before.
