Just wondering, is the rollercoaster used in the movie still standing today ????

WOW Thanks so much for the Upload!

I never knew that Lee Van Cleef was the lookout in this scene which was filmed along the Cumberland River a short distance downstream from Dycusburg, Crittenden Co., Kentucky. This area is known locally as Paddy's Bluff. There is no cave in this bluff so the film crew actually darkened the rocks to make it appear to look like a cave on camera. (They used the cave at Cave In Rock, Illinois on the Ohio River for the actual cave scene). Lee Van Cleef did a great job in these brief clips and its a shame he wasn't credited for being in the film.

What a wonderful recollection of his times making this fabulas film. So lovley to hear the stories. Thankyou

I would love to see that in Cinerama.

One of the best interviews ever, there are so few who can charm and tell a story with such wit.

As a pure lover of whare eagles dare i could not take my eyes off this, absaloute gold, could have listened to derren for hours, most convincing Gestapo officer to grace the screen, what a film and what a cast it had, ❤ , 1968,

SIT DOWN COLONEL

Movie was a disaster, southern Spain looks like a desert

I want to watch some movies in Cinerama now. THat would be so cool.

And where can one acquire these "smile box" final versions? I saw "this is Cinerama" when the screen was new at the Villa in Salt Lake. Also saw Brothers Grimm and How the West was Won there. I have the smile box of the latter in my collection but the right angle railroad track (long shot) has always been a problem.

So informative and interesting to watch still in 2025! I used to have the soundtrack on vinyl for the 1958 Cinemiracle release!

So informative and great to watch in 2025!

Notre premier grand film français en 70mm ! Gigantesque ! du vrai Cinéma !

I have never seen Cinerama in action but did see How The West Was Won around 1963 in standard 35mm with the joins I was at the time enthrawled by that movie, I have it on DVD but it is offcoarse just a film on a TV. I really enjoyed your video and found the detailed explanations very interesting, so a big thank you.

Will their be a 4K Bluray release of these movies? 1080p seem far to low for such source material..

"Colonel, l don't have to remind you, do I, that l am in charge of all the Gestapo activities in this area and if there are foreign agents, then l am to be informed at once!"

Course you can match pretty much all of that digitally today.

I was struck by the irony of the water-skiing sequence towards the end because Fred Waller, inventor of Cinerama, also invented water skis.

I was a projectionist in the 90's . I ran Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Lawrence of Arabia, Zhivago, and others on a Bauer U-2 with a Christie platter. Our theatre, the Senator Theatre in Baltimore had a T.A.P.S rating of being in the top ten in the country for sound and picture quality. One of the last Indiana Jones pictures came in on reused stock, some reels the film had shrunken from being scraped and recoated and processed. I was averaging a film break every showing. That was in the 16th week of that engagement.

Such a fantastic job. Now, I'm going to have to watch the movie again for the tenth time.

Awailable by "Flicker alley collection" on DVD and Blue ray!

Amazing! I’ve seen How the West was Won in Cinerama, it was incredible. This looks good too! The problem is finding anyone showing it!

Amazing! Love it when the words follow the curve!

Amazing restoration work!

Brilliant work! While there are many people now doing a fantastic job restoring movies, removing all imperfections, I find it hard to believe that there are now in 2024, people creating amazing short videos for showing on KZbin, who are now ADDING imperfections, blobs, specks, scratches etc to their creations, ‘just for effect’!

He fathered my son. Oliver Todd Aragón Navarro. Lovely man, Love you Oliver. Kisses to Heaven. You have now 2 grandkids, please take care of our son and our grandkids in Mexico, your daughter in law too. Love you precious.

ขอบคุณครับผม❤รักทุกคนน่ะ😊

What a delightful funny gentleman, I always liked to see him in a film,

Esse filme deveria voltar a ser exibido nos cinemas. Lawrence da Arábia é nota 10 e Karthoum merece um 8.

Assisti num cinema enorme que não existe mais.

Uno de los mejores recuerdos de mi infancia, cuando el mundo era maravilloso.

Actually the film is supposed to be taking place in 1944, not 1942 as Mr. Nesbitt stated, and yes, by 1944, the Germans did have helicopters, specifically the Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 "Drache" which was undergoing testing and was capable of carrying significant cargo loads, even across the English Channel; however, production was limited due to wartime disruptions and only a small number were built. Though little known by most of the public the German war industry had developed many weapons: the first assault rifle, the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44); the first rocket-powered fighter aircraft, Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet; the first jet fighter, the Messerschmitt Me 262; the first "flying bomb", called the V-1 rocket, and designated the Fieseler Fi 103, which was a sort of early cruise missile; and the V-2 or Aggregat 4 (A4), a technology that laid the groundwork for the intercontinental missile and V-2's captured after the war were used by the US and Soviets as test beds for the development of missile and space rocket technology. The Germans were working on and intercontinental missile that never reached the launchpad, had it done so the plans were to hit New York. Had the German atomic bomb research not been curtailed through sabotage and wartime destruction the first city destroyed by an A-bomb may have been New York City.

from Jeff: I would like to find The Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls original 50s Cinerama versions.

Thank you for sharing this information

Very well done.

He used to live very near me...

Thank you so much for your good beautiful programs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I lived and worked in Leeds in the early 1990s and visited the National Film and Photography Museum many times - and was one of the first few hundred to see the CINERAMA presentation in 1993...😎

He looks like the man who co produced the Christian radish

👍

Har sejlet meget med Holger Danske fra Kalundborg til Kolby Kaas på Samsø tilbage i midt-90'erne. Siden har jeg set færgen i Rødby og tænkt hvad der mon blev af den, det ved jeg nu. Tak for en fin video!

maravilha ; nada substituiu

Robert Shaw makes this movie outstanding. George Montgomery has a small but excellent role. Henry Fonda is obnoxious as the guy who’s ALWAYS in the right place at the right time through a series of unlikely coincidences. He virtually wins the battle for the Allies single handed.

About the only part that has changed little is that closing aerial shot of SAN Francisco with Tracey’s brilliant narrative.

Fantastic!

Det er synd at se den p den måde at den sejler med biler og lastbiler istedet for tog og godstog den var meget pænere den gang den sejlede på Ko(Korsør) Ngf(Nyborg Færgehavn) som desværre er ødelagt for længst😢😢de færger der sejlede på de ruter på Storebælt er Savnet af mange mennesker

Bor i korsør, hold kæft jeg savner disse færger. I stedet for den forbandede støjende bro.

origin of imax But i'd rather watch imax movie

And the action really begins but not until after the intermission. Even then, meh
