Center was directly from C-mag. Tommy was also the first Dolby SVA feature, AFAIK.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.

Don't know if the print(s) are still available for screenings. There *might* also be some SDDS print(s), as Sony Pictures often strikes one (or a few) new prints when they work on restorations. Also, the 70mm print(s) for a 1977 L.A. and New York re-issue (not sure if other cities ever played it) were advertised as "Now...for the first time ever! Supersonic 70mm and Super-mind-blowing Ultrasonic Stereo." Anyone know what that was? Different from Quintaphonic?  |  IP: Logged
