My ongoing lifetime fascination with 70mm film has developed into a proposal..

I wonder if one of our 8mm distributors would consider releasing a 200ft trailer reel containing films which extol the virtues on 70mm within the content. For instance, in 1967 the Gone with the wind reissue trailer boasted quite a bit how great its 70mm rework was so this would be quite interesting. I cant recall any super 8 trailer reel which contained materials which heavily mentioned the fact they come to you in 70mm and it would make quite a unique reel for today’s collectors.

The Cineavision trailer of Ben-Hur starts with a caption with the text: In 70MM and Full Stereophonic Sound.
And I beleive it's mentioned in the El Cid and Lawrence of Arabia trailers to.
