I'm preparing a little something on "Around The World In Eighty Days" (1956) for the American Cinematheque's upcoming 70mm Film Festival, and it occured to me that this film was prepared in a LOT of different versions. Apparently, several different types were used during the original reserved-seat showings, and who knows what all turned up during the general release and re-releases.
What types in terms of gauge, frame rate, aspect ratio, sound formats, running time, etc. have you seen and/or handled? Ever come into contact with any of the alleged non-standard versions, such as a 34mm print, or a print with 1.5x anamorphic squeeze (instead of 2x), or a version with Perspecta encoded audio? Can you think of any film offered in more versions than "80 Days"?
