Cinerama Holiday
Cinerama Holiday is a 1955 film shot in Cinerama. Structured as a criss-cross travel documentary, it shows an American couple traveling in Europe and a European couple traveling in the United States. Like all of the original Cinerama productions, the emphasis is on spectacle and scenery. The European sequences, for example, include a point-of-view bobsled ride, while the U.S. sequences include a point-of-view landing on an aircraft carrier.
The film was a huge success at the box office, earning $10 million in domestic rentals and becoming the highest grossing film of 1955 in the United States, beating out other hugely successful movies such as Mister Roberts, Battle Cry and Oklahoma!.
Largely unseen for decades, the film was released on Blu-ray in 2013, restored and remastered from the original camera negatives.
