[net.movies] NAPOLEON

Gloger.es@XEROX.ARPA (09/06/84)

I saw the live-orchestra version of Napoleon when it came out a couple
years ago, at the Shrine Auditorium I think it was.  One of the
interesting techniques was the brief use of three side-by-side parallel
projectors and screens for an ultra-wide-screen effect for a horseback
chase scene (reported also to be the first-ever film scene shot with
moving cameras).  Does anybody know how the regular, single-wide movie
theater version of the film handles the triple-wide scene?
