Saw the whole thing twice in 70 mm film and Cinerama


I too was sure I saw it in Cinerama, but it was filmed in Super
Panavision 70, not Cinerama's 3-camera extravaganza. Through the wonders
of renaming brands, however....

[You can read Wikipedia for just a hint of the confusion..]

I've seen it maybe a dozen times since 1968, and saw the new
"anniversary" print at the Uptown in DC, the last real theater around..
it was still & always stunning....

ACC and Kubrick could not have asked for a better legacy.
