It should be noted that Zeffirelli’s “Romeo & Juliet” was already five years old by this time. When the Paramount release premiered exclusively at the Paris Theatre in October, 1968, this Ziegfeld Theatre didn’t even exist.
This I believe replaced the shameful presentation of This is Cinerama. I just wish they had kept that wonderful large curved screen which really was great. The Lawrence of Arabia, My Fair Lady, Spartacus and Funny Girl restorations would have looked spectacular on it.
Though I went to the DC Uptown, with its huge curved screen to enjoy the restored The Lawrence of Arabia and My Fair Lady, and missed Spartacus at both theaters but saw it nicely presented in 70mm at the Worldwide, I saw the 35mm restored Funny Girl here & it was terrific! Screen was fine for Funny Girl, for me.
I saw Spartacus at both the Ziegfeld and went back to see it at Worldwide. And yes it was very nicely presented at Worldwide. That was a great place to see movies cheaply. Saw Eyes Wide Shut there twice as well.
