The Editor Speaks
Well, at last, I’ve seen it for myself, and it proved a new movie experience for me. I’m talking about that marvelous Cinerama, that really new look for the
motion picture screen.
I won’t go into its technical aspects or the many-sided ques¬ tion in the minds of many tradesters, “But what can Cin¬ erama do with a reg¬ ular picture with a
story, instead of the variety show now be¬ ing offered?” This is for the Cinerama
people to answer in their own way.
But speaking purely from my very ex¬ cited heart, I must say at once that this is magnificent. The full throated power
and moving beauty of Cinerama sears one’s imagination like a red hot poker. Minor flaws, such as the waver on the screen where the three individual film
strips join to make the full panorama, are quickly forgotten in the full enjoyment of its majestic sweep of the new Cinerama vista.
I will not comment on the future of this process and also the many other worthwhile processes which are now be¬ ing developed. Pioneer progress and in¬ genuity are always good. But this I will say, and with conviction:
You, like I, will never forget the thrill of your first Cinerama show.
