The Indian Hills Theatre was designed by architect Richard L. Crowther for Cooper Foundation and was one of just a handful of theatres designed especially for 3-strip Cinerama in the 1960’s. It debuted on December 21, 1962 with Laurence Harvey in “The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm”. It featured a 105-foot wide screen (the largest in the US).
