"Oklahoma"
By
David Coles
For ten years,
since the musical
play "Oklahoma!"
opened in New York
City, March 31,
1943, the major
movie companies made
overtures to Rodgers
and Hammerstein for
the movie right of
"Oklahoma!" Nothing
happened until one
day when both Dick
and Oscar were
invited to see test
shots of the Todd-AO
process. Then it
became obvious that
the movies were
ready for
"Oklahoma!" |

1956 |
"Around the World in 80 Days"
By
David Coles
"Do
not refer to Around
the World in 80 Days
as a movie. It's not
a movie. Movies are
something you can
see in your
neighbourhood theatre
and eat popcorn
while you're
watching
them....Show Around
the World in 80 Days
almost exactly as
you would present a
Broadway show in
your theatre."
Mike Todd |

1958 |
"South
Pacific"
By
David Coles
South Pacific is
a 1958 American
romantic musical
film based on the
Rodgers and
Hammerstein musical
South Pacific, which
in turn based on
James A. Michener's
short-story
collection Tales of
the South Pacific.
The film, directed
by Joshua Logan,
starred Rossano
Brazzi, Mitzi
Gaynor, John Kerr
and Ray Walston in
the leading roles
with Juanita Hall as
Bloody Mary, the
part that she had
played in the
original stage
production. The film
was nominated for
three Academy
Awards, winning the
Academy Award for
Best Sound for Fred
Hynes. |

“Solomon
and Sheba”
By Mike Coate
70-millimeter
presentations of
“Solomon and Sheba”
in North America.
The film’s 70mm
prints consisted of
full-frame imagery
derived from Super
Technirama
photography and

These were arguably
the best cinemas in
which to experience
this film. |
