		Cinerama was introduced on 30 September 1952, at the Broadway Theatre in New York.
		Cinerama continued through the rest of the 1960s as a brand-name used initially with the Ultra-Panavision 70 widescreen process (which yielded a similar aspect ratio as the original Cinerama, although it did not simulate the 146 degree field of view.) Specially modified "rectified" prints were necessary to project this onto the curved screen.
