So, while tidying up our booth, I ran across my very first X-rated trailer. This piqued my interest. It's for a movie called "Panorama Blue", which, according to in70mm.com, is the only known 70mm adult movie.
According to the trailer (and the website), the movie used something called "Panoramascope" about which there seems to be not much information on the web. Was this just a renaming of some other incarnation of 70mm which didn't wish to be associated with porn under its own name? Or was this a fly-by-night process which was nonetheless unique? The film is listed on the website as a blowup, but according to one source I found, was at least partially shot in 70mm.
One of the experienced projectionists at our house remembers projecting the movie a while back, and says that there was only one print ever struck.
Just curious, since this topic obviously has little practical relevance.
