New York had a great Cinerama theater from the 60 until the middle 80’s when it like most times square theaters was torn down to make way for a hotel.I remember going there for the first time in the late 70’s to see Hello Dolly which was presented just as it was originally in 1969 when it opened. I remeber being amazed at the curved screen. RKO kept the cinerama screen until it closed the theater in the 80’s.
Lets get Clearview to convert the Zeigfeld to what it was built for. I hate their flat screen. Let CINERAMA live in NY.
Very nice. If only we had something like that in NY.
86 x 34 ft.
What is the size of the screen and what is the length and the cord?
Architect was Welton Becket and Associates

What a theatre! I saw 2 of the Lord of the Rings movies in the dome and was in awe! The surrounding theatres are fantastic as well, and prices are less than what I had heard beforehand. The Cinerama screenn is magnificent!
Went to the “Mad (etc) World” screening and had a great time – the movie was 70mm and stereo (even in the Shirelles song!) for the first time in ages. Got to meet Edie Adams (told her she was one of the funniest performers ever; she said “Well, it was all those years at Juillard!”), Stan Freberg and Marvin Kaplan. Stanley Kramer’s widow and Billy Bob Thornton introduced the film. Only downside? It was the shorter version of the film. But the clarity was amazing! Right before the end of the last chase you can see a big “Nixon for Governor” banner. Still Hollywood’s finest theatre IMHO.
I am anxiously awaiting more info as to when the “dome” will be ready for “This Is Cinerama”. I am a former member of IATSE and ran a Cinerama booth in New Jersey, back in 1963.
