Just saw LOA today in Bradford and it was nice to see the print was in good condition with nice colour. First time I'd seen the film and it was great, you really can't beat 70mm.

It was screened on the cinerama curve - this seemed to create lots of focus problems. The projectionist had to ride the focus, in an attempt to keep the action in focus. At least there was a projectionist doing a good job watching the focus.

Perhaps, it could be booked for the widescreen weekend next year?
It was well worth the trip on Sunday and I'd love to see it again.

It's one film that won't join my DVD collection, what would be the point? (28" vs 56')
