The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
re-release presentations of Gone with the Wind in North America. The
films 70mm prints featured re-framed tilt-and-scan full-frame imagery and
re-mixed six-track stereophonic sound. (The 1939 film directed by Victor
Fleming and starring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard and Olivia de
Havilland was originally produced in 1.37:1 Academy format with monaural
audio.)
These were hard ticket roadshow engagements (except where noted otherwise)
and were special, long-running, showcase presentations in major cities prior
to the film being exhibited as a general release, and they featured advanced
admission pricing, reserved seating, an overture/intermission/entracte/exit
music, and an average of only ten scheduled screenings per week. Souvenir
program booklet were sold, as well.
Out of the hundreds of films released and re-released during 1967, Gone
with the Wind was among only eight that were given deluxe roadshow
treatment and among only five to be released with 70mm prints.
