The Bat Whispers

Title	Released	Cinema	Notes

The Bat Whispers (United Artists)	06.11.1930	Wilshire, Los Angeles, USA	The 65mm version was almost certainly shot using a Fearless Superfilm camera but this has not yet been established beyond doubt. Shot simultaneously in standard 35mm. All "Magnifilm Presentations" were 35mm reduction prints using sound on film, Just as with Realife the wide gauge version were never publicly exhibited. The versatile Fearless camera was also used for 8 perf. Thomascolor tests in 1942, the first series of Todd-AO cameras and for 8 perf. 55mm CinemaScope 55 in 1955.
