Drove past the Villa tonight. This is Salt Lake Citys Only 3 strip Cinerama Theatre and is still intact and in great shape. I noticed that Pearl Harbor will be playing there so if any of you are in the area please be sure to go see it there.
The screen there is 93 feet on the curve, and there is a pristene DP-70 in the booth.

They have movie theaters in Salt Lake City?????

Last time I was there I saw only churches and some crazy lake.

Can they play R-rated movies? Well I guess they can because the motel I stayed in actually offered X-Rated movies.

Joe,
The Tower Theatre regularly plays R and X rated stuff. Since in the last 7 or 8 years SLC has become more of a normal melting pot like other cities, than just religous white folk, you will find more everyday things around here than you did in the past.

They even have an original 70mm film playing there called "Testaments". It shows Monday thru Saturday at 9am, 10:30am 12pm 1:30pm, 3pm, 4:30pm, 6pm, 7:30pm, 9pm at the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Legacy Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah. Haven't seen it, but I ran an article about it "..in 70mm - The 70mm Newsletter".

Another religion-themed film shot on 65mm and shown in 70mm Todd-AO was "Man in the 5th Dimension", narrated by Billy Graham and featured at the 1964 New York World's Fair:
http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/widescreen/wingto9.htm

"BILLY GRAHAM'S Pavilion is a showcase for the noted
evangelist's 70mm Todd-AO motion picture, Man in the 5th
Dimension, showing daily "on the hour."

Rev. Graham's prologue
notes: "You are about to
embark on a
breathtaking journey
through the
four-dimensional world
of space and time, into
the realm of the fifth
dimension, the dimension
of the spirit . . - "

Scenes taken at Mount
Palomar show our own
galaxy and the gallactic
systems millions of light years away. The story of creation is told
in the setting of the Earth's "oldest living things," the giant
redwoods of California. Billy Graham demonstrates the
continuity of Christian witness down through ancient and modern
times to the present day.

An imported 70mm projection system is used to beam Todd-AO
images to a wrap-around screen."

If special venue producers value the "Splendor of 70mm", why can't the "big" pictures of today use 70mm prints for "big" screens too?

I have tried for years, through the US Graham organisation, and with the aid of the Danish Billy Graham rep., to get a print of that film and run it at the Wide Screen Weekend in Bradford. Unfortunately, no luck yet.

The 65mm negative and soundtrack must be somewhere.

The Billy Graham org. in the US has informed me that no 70mm prints are available. The film was shown in 16mm in churches after the expo.

Does anyone have a print (video/16/35/70) of this film? I'd like to see it.
