Essentially a labour of love, Dave Strohmeier has wrought a miracle with this gem of a documentary which deals with a very special subject, the history of Cinerama, the mother of all large format cinema. Years ahead of its time, Cinerama had an electrifying impact on its audiences back in the early fifties. Fifty years on we now have this very special and unique documentary. It deserves the full support of all those who love their movies big. Well recieved at the Bradford film festival by top people in the film business last year and up for Oscars this year, an absolute must to see.
