In 1971 with the studio on the verge of bankruptcy and its new releases tanking MGM rushed out its all time diamond for Christmas 1971. The only Manhattan screen they could get the first week was Cinema Studio, although in week 2 they picked up Guild 50th, UA East, UA Riviera and New Alpine. It took till week 3 for them to realize that this ad was from the 1968 70mm engagement and that all of these prints were 35mm Metrocolor. View link
