 The following is a reference / historical list of the 70mm roadshow engagements of “Circus World” held in North America. These presentations utilized special rectified prints derived from Technirama photography and projected onto large, deeply curved screens in Cinerama-branded cinemas. The audio was six-track stereophonic. The seating was reserved at advanced prices and with an average of ten scheduled screenings per week. The cinemas in which these special presentations played also sold souvenir programs. The premiere of “Circus World” was held in Dallas, Texas, on June 24th, 1964. “Circus World” was among seven confirmed first-run films released in 1964 with 70mm prints for selected engagements. The Samuel Bronston production was directed by Henry Hathaway and starred John Wayne, Rita Hayworth and Claudia Cardinale.
