 The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
presentations of “The Last Valley” in North America. The film’s 70mm prints
consisted of full-frame imagery derived from 65mm Todd-AO photography and
featured discrete six-channel stereophonic sound.“The Last Valley” was among four confirmed first-run films released in 1971 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The ABC/Cinerama release was directed by James Clavell and starred Michael Caine and Omar Sharif. These were continuous performance, general release bookings (i.e. not roadshow…although roadshow style program booklets were made available). The duration of the engagements (measured in weeks) has for some entries been included in parenthesis following the cinema name. 1971-01-28 … New York, NY — Rivoli (6) 1971-02-03 … Los Angeles, CA — Egyptian (8) This information has been principally referenced from film industry trade publications and regional newspaper promotion, with thanks to Mark Lensenmayer. Additional 70mm prints were screened internationally but have not been accounted for in this article.
