 One
of the most unique and rarely seen Todd-AO films ever produced, was a 28 minute film
filmed in 1963 to be shown exclusively at the Billy Graham Pavilion at the
1964-65 Worlds Fair in New York, USA. The film was shown 10 times a day in a
purpose built 400 seat theatre. The film was seen by more than 1 million
spectators and has since completely disappeared in it's original Todd-AO
version.In January 2005 I discovered a superbly well documented story Mr. Eric Paddon about "Man in the 5th Dimension" and the Billy Graham Pavilion in which the film was shown. Eric Paddon documents the participation of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association at the New York World's Fair and with his kind permission, I have reprinted his article and information about the Todd-AO film from the souvenir program and soundtrack. For a complete coverage of Todd-AO in a religious context, I recommend the 1964 worlds fair nywf64.com web site and especially the coverage of the Billy Graham Pavilion. |

Hi Thomas, and thank you for your e-mail. I'm glad you think my article can be helpful for your site, and it's okay to run whatever excerpts you need to do so long as your site whenever quoting puts an acknowledgment of reprinted with permission and also offers a link to the site itself for more info about the New York World's Fair. I'll be interested in seeing what your site ultimately looks like! Sincerely, Eric Paddon, 25.01.2005 |
