Happy Easter!

Imagine heading downtown in your Sunday suit or new Easter dress to see King Of Kings (1961) in 70mm Super Technirama. Now you can watch it without getting off the couch — the screen’s quite a bit smaller and the popcorn’s probably not as good.

Merry Christmas.

Here’s Christ’s birth as staged by the great Nicholas Ray for King Of Kings (1961), a movie I find really moving in places.  It’s also got some of the most breathtaking widescreen photography you’re ever likely to see. Ray’s mastery of the Scope-shaped image is unmatched.

I’d like to wish you all a 70mm Super Technirama holiday. Toby
