Mitch, from what I've read the 35mm prints were mono, and the 70mm were 6-track, so a 5.1 remix wouldn't necessarily be wrong. Warner has a very good track record with their classic releases, so I'm optimistic the Oscar-winning sound will be done right.

Suntech, I hate you for the simple fact that you've seen this movie on a big screen. Because it was Cinerama, from Hell's heart I stab at thee. Hmm, I might have to arrange my own big-screen showing some morning...




KHAN!!!

Well maybe if we all wrote Paul Allen and Warner Brothers and ask them to do a special screening to promote the release of the special 2 disk DVD, we could all meet at the CINERAMA in Seattle to experience it on the only remaining Super Cinerama Theatre in the world

I believe Grand Prix was shot in Ultra Panavison which was a 65mm print. I think the prints were blown up to 70MM. Ultra Panavision started out as MGM Camera 65 then in 1962 Panavision got the full rights and renamed it .
