Summary of this Book... | ||
It's hard to believe that CinemaScope was launched way back in 1953. With great hoop-la and excitement, the traditional postage-stamp cinema screen widened to embrace a cinema's whole proscenium. Nowadays, the widescreen seems commonplace, but in 1953 it was a real revolution. Fortunately, we can now all of us revisit those days, or see these wonders for the first time, thanks to DVD and widescreen television. This 368-page, well-illustrated, large-format book provides complete details on 164 of these wonderful movies, including cast and technical credits, background information, reviews, and initial release dates for America, Britain and Australia. | ||
