“Cinerama Holiday” (1955)
60th anniversary
screening on 5/1/15 at 7:30pm in Beverly Hills
Three years after the larger-than-life, curved-screen vistas of This Is Cinerama wowed twenty million people in the U.S., the independent studio behind the trailblazing widescreen format embarked on an even more ambitious project for their sophomore release: a wistful travelogue.
Cinerama Holiday follows two real-life couples, one Swiss and one American, as they embark on spectacularly scenic vacations in each other’s backyards. Kansas City natives John and Betty Marsh explore the splendors of snowy St. Moritz, learn to ski in Davos, enjoy fondue and yodeling in a raucous chateau and take in the sights, sounds and fashions of Paris.
Zurich’s Fred and Beatrice Troller enjoy the wide-open spaces of America on the back of a scooter hurtling through the Southwest and in the Vista-Dome of the California Zephyr. They revel in the bustle of San Francisco, the dazzle of Las Vegas, the dynamism of New Orleans and the charm of New England. The box office smash of 1955, Cinerama Holiday will screen in a glistening new digital restoration presented in the “Smilebox” curved screen simulation!
