By
William Kallay and
Michael Coate
What follows is a
list of the known
70mm engagements of
the movie "Close
Encounters of the
Third Kind". As one

places often playing
the movie in 70mm. |
 The Original 70mm engagements
Of "Alien"
By
William Kallay and
Michael Coate
If released today,
Ridley Scott's
“Alien” would have
opened on several
thousand cinema
screens across the
country. Back on
Memorial Day weekend
of 1979 when the
film was originally
released, however,
there were fewer
than 100
engagements, 91
select-market
engagements to be
exact.

 Working for Louis deRochemont
By Borden Mace
Riding back to Manhattan alone with a captive David Lean in a thirty minute taxi ride, I had questions of a lifetime to ask him. I never got to ask one. He was so excited and had so many questions he wanted answers to. |
 "The Empire Strikes Back"
By Coate and Kallay
What is noteworthy
about the release of "The Empire Strikes Back" with regard
to the 70mm presentation format is that the film was (at the
time) distributed with a record number of large-format
prints for a saturation, non-roadshow-type release,
eclipsing the record set the previous year by "Alien".

 The Photography of "Patton"
By George J. Mitchel
The sharpness and resolution of the D-150 lenses is amply demonstrated
in the prologue. There are screen-filling close-ups of Patton's pistols, his
decorations, his West Point ring. The clarity of detail, despite the
magnification, is amazing.of detail, despite the

 Todd-AO
Birth date
By Brian O'Brien
On October 15th, 1952 I received a phone call from a Michael
Todd in New York City, who wished to come to see me at Rochester

 "Where the Trains Used to Go"
By Morten Skallerud
I love trains. I love Large Format, and I love making magic on film.
"Where the Trains used to go" gave me an opportunity to combine the
three for a 4½ minute 15perf 70mm "magic journey" along the remains of a
closed-down narrow-gauge railway. |
