According to Marty Hart on his amazing web site he claims that though both King and I and Carousel were filmed in Cinemascope 55 they were never shown that way not even in their first run engagements and no known prints are said to survive in that original process. posted by Vincent on Dec 8, 2003 at 12:36pmVincent, I am Afraid you are wrong and more so is Marty. I own copies of both these prints, in original 55 format.I can confirm that they were indeed released in scope 55.The prints I have are X West End London.Edd posted by Edd on Dec 13, 2003 at 6:02amEdd: Marty Hart, curator of the Wide Screen Museum website, is probably the most knowledgable man in the world about the early wide-screen processes, and if he says "Carousel" and "The King and I" were never released in the 55mm format, he knows of what he speaks. (He also knows punctuation--"afraid" as used in the context of your post should not be capitalized. posted by Stepale on Dec 13, 2003 at 9:17pm
