    Did you see THE SOUND OF MUSIC, BEN-HUR, MY FAIR LADY, CLEOPATRA, OKLAHOMA!, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, DOCTOR, ZHIVAGO, DOCTOR DOLITTLE, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, WEST SIDE STORY, OLIVER!, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, CAMELOT, or FIDDLER ON THE ROOF in their very first engagements?

    If so, you probably planned ahead, dressed well, had reserved seats and maybe a souvenir program, to a movie presented in stereophonic sound, (maybe 70mm) with an overture, intermission, and exit music, that ran exclusively at one of the best theatres in your area, for up to a year or more.

    It wasn't just a movie, it was an event. An experience you remembered as well as the film.

    Did the seats tingle, the floor shake, or the air smell? Were the staff and theatre costumed and decorated in the theme of the movie?
