Isn't it Certs with the 'drop of retsin (sp?)'?? I thought Clorets had Chlorophyll in it.
marc@bmcg.UUCP (05/25/84)
Yes, it was Certs that had Retsyn; Clorets had chlorophyll. Also, Elvis' first hit was Hound Dog. Carl Perkins came out with "Blue Suede Shoes" about the same time -- I believe Elvis later did a version of this, which may have caused the confusion.

> 34. What was the first "Cinemascope" movie? > A:(?) "The 10 Commandments" "The Ten Commandments" was made in 1956 and was in Vistavision (Paramounts answer to Twentieth Century Fox's Cinemascope). I think that the first Cinemascope movie was "The Robe" (1953).
