Designed to introduce the then-new widescreen process Cinerama, audiences experience the roller coaster at Rockaways' Playland, the temple dance from Aida, Niagara Falls, a Viennese choir, the canals of Venice, a military tattoo in Edinburgh, a bullfight, and more. The film concludes with a view from the nose of a low-flying B-25 while America the Beautiful plays.

Directed by Merian C. Cooper and Gunther von Fritsch

This one is a bit boring compared to the other Cinerama films I’ve seen. As other reviews acknowledge, it’s all about the spectacle, but many of the segments drag on uncomfortably long. I appreciate the beauty in the shots and I enjoy a good ride pov, but not much more than that.
