 The
following is a reference / historical listing of the 70-millimeter
engagements of “Marooned” in the United States and Canada. These were the
cinemas worth seeking out to experience the best presentation of this motion
picture.The Columbia release was directed by John Sturges (“The Hallelujah Trail,” “Ice Station Zebra”) and starred Gregory Peck, Richard Crenna, David Janssen, James Franciscus and Gene Hackman. Out of the hundreds of films released during 1969, “Marooned” was among only ten released with 70mm prints (three from 65mm origination and seven blow-ups) and only seven released with a reserved-seat “roadshow” policy. The 70mm prints of “Marooned” featured discrete six-channel stereophonic sound and full-frame imagery blown up from anamorphic 35mm.
