CHINA MAIL FILM CRITIC

Around the World in Eighty Days will not be shown in Hongkong this year.

The technical difficulties, associated with this colossal production are such that it seems no one is prepared to undertake them, for this gigantie picture calls for no less than the complete recon- atruction of the theatre, to show it in its original form.

In the first place it cannot be projected at an angle, and requires a special projection box so that the projectur can focus dlicet on the seren,

.

Secondly, the Alm is exactly twice the width of the normal la. (70 min.) and requires an enormous screen ainust as wide as Cinerama,

Added to this, the light used to flood the screen is twice De intense un any ever seen on a screen before, and is no hot that the Alm has to be refrigerated as it passes through the Todź-AO projector,

CAST OF THOUSANDS

The question Is, which distributor will hazard this culculated risk? It will be a pity if it is not shown in Hongkong, for apart from any other merits the Blm might possess, it is one of 'show places that, descend on the enter tainment world every now and again,

་

Consider: apart from the 46 stars in the film who constitute Almland's, who's Who, there are 80,804 people' ina the supporting east, and

Thirty-four 7,950 animals, directors took 104 days, on 112 locallons, with 140 sets. In 13 different countries, to make this Titasle Travelogue.

There is a rumour that this film will be reduced to the more modest dimensions of Cinemascope so that the poor relations may have a look.

And I seems that to the way Hongkong will see it certainly not this year, perhaps next year, or sometime, and maybe never.
