  1. > {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote:}{quote}Dang! .. Thus I posted two wrong names. Why? Because both wrong names, combined with "Forty Guns" in a Google image search turned up her picture in the same garb.

     

    I'm having a similar problem with Minerva Urical and Blossom Rock

     

    (Marie Blake - Blossom Blake) in another thread. Everywhere I look

     

    I get both and no detailed descriptions under the photos, just paragraphs

     

    full of info on all of them. Can't seem to single one out.
  2. > {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote: }{quote}The film never looked like that. I saw it in a large Cinerama theater in 1963 and it didn't look like that. It looked like a giant Cinemascope screen with two dividing lines that..

    I just grabbed this pic to open the thread with, it's not one I've snapped from disc.

    Assuming this is a Blu-Ray snap, it may be from the extra stuff included with a package.

    A bit of it's history,etc. I remember Disneyland 1967, there was a surround show done with,

    I believe, 16 cameras. We entered a small, round room with the center roped off with those

    red velvet movie house things. Everyone was herded into the center and we stood on our feet

    for the show. Not a movie really, just something like a montage of 'rides' with you (us) atop a

    vehicle and everything around you in 360 degrees being displayed on the walls. Hayrides and carriage rides through covered bridges and other places that highlighted the 360 degree 'being

    there' experience.

     

    I don't recall seeing the lines, but it was dark in there and there weren't many bright scenes to

    reveal any lines that may have existed.

  3. > {quote:title=scsu1975 wrote:}{quote}Is that a screen shot from the promo? It looks like that "smilebox format" which removes the lines.

    That's a Blu-Ray snapshot I borrowed, probably from the film body.

    TCM ran it's promo for How the West Was Won this afternoon. I was busy
    with the tv on in the background and glanced over. It's a LED widescreen tv
    and the promo filled it from side to side in all it's splendiferous gloriosity...
    except for the telltale Cinerama screen divisions. I stared, blinked, rubbed my
    eyes, blinked and stared some more, but I couldn't see the lines. As the promo
    was wrapping up, I did notice a bit of a line on the left side in the last shot but
    I could have just imagined it.

    The last time I watched this film it was full of those lines. I wonder if this promo wasn't
    retouched in some way or never had them to begin with. Was the promo made this way?
    I'm not concerned about it's impurities, I'm trying to find out if I was seeing things.

    Yes, Miles. You made the connection :)

     

    Here's a lovely thing

  6. > {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote:...}{quote}Well, I went to Google Images, and I tried to find shots of the girls wearing similar hats, about the same age, similar hair, similar noses, and after a while they all began to look alike..

    I call it 'that flapper look'. Here, in our time(s), from our perspective, they all appear to have

    the same face, hat, etc.. as you said. The reverse might be true if they could look ahead at

    us. Looking for the girl in the car probably turned into looking for a car with a girl in it. It's

    getting difficult to find photos of post 30's actors that don't resemble their public image.
