I
saw "The Professionals" in 70mm at the Hollywood Cinerama in México City.
"Boot's Hill" (La colina de las botas) in Sevilla (Spain) surely in
70mm. I don't remember the name of the movie house
"Red Sun" I saw it at the cine Las Americas (México City). Also in
70mm.

"Once Upon the time in the west" Saw it five times at the Cine
Olimpia in México city.
Surely in 70mm.
The only ones I'm not sure. are the "The Five Army" never saw that film,
(the poster was send to me by a friend from Spain. And I saw "The Wild Bunch" in 35mm. The same friend in Madrid send to me
several posters of the film promoted in 70mm.

This 70mm version was screened in the Easter Holidays (early April), in
1971, in Madrid. At the time, Madrid have 3 Cinerama theatres in the
city. The Albéniz-Cinerama. The Real Cinema-Cinerama, and the
Proyecciones-Cinerama.
I dont remember in witch of them I saw the film. Incidentally, in
another theatre was screened the 70mm version of "The Robe". I
attented to both Shows. A year later "Quo Vadis", in 70mm, was
screened, also for Easter Holidays, at the Cinema Pedregal 70 theatre in
México City.
All the best, Miguel

I discovered a rare poster of the German film "Die Nibelungen",
perhaps it will interest you. In this case it is the English 70mm
version of the film with the title "Whom the Gods wish to destroy"
(part1 and part2 together - in Germany there were two parts of the
film "Die Nibelungen", additional titled A: "Siegfried" in
1966 and B: "Kriemhilds Rache" in 1967) which was shown
in the UK and in Mexico as far as I am informed.
I admire your work. A nice weekend...
Cheers
