TWWOTBG: Not Lost After All

[Ed Gordon]

A restored 4K "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" trailer has recently been shown on the Cinerama screen at the annual Widescreen Weekend Festival in Bradford, UK. This trailer is a 1961 original MGM five-minute pre-release announcement trailer that was reconstructed from 6-perf Cinerama negatives as well as a 7-channel magnetic soundtrack. This brings up the restoration efforts currently underway between Cinerama Inc. and Warner Bros. for the complete digital restoration of the roadshow version of what the original ads stated as ”The first Cinerama film to tell a story.” When this project is completed all the Cinerama 3-panel feature films will have been digitally restored.

Update

My understanding is that this was to be released this spring. I have not yet found any references to an actual release date for the Bluray.

For movie collectors who are interested in this film, you want to also have an original souvenir book published by MGM in 1962. Amazon currently has 26 copies available (used, in varying condition). Prices range from $3 to $6.
