After years of only knowing about this innovative film, I finally watched this online, complete with the curved black spots that's supposed to simulate the theatrical experience as one could have imagined it. Lowell Thomas introes in a black-and-white sequence done in the conventional screen ratio of the time (almost square-like) before it suddenly widens and turns to color. The first sequence after that is a point-of-view (POV) dolly from the front of a roller coaster in New York City. From there we see various events taking place in Europe like a bullfight or the Vienna Boys Choir or a ballet sequence. After intermission, we then watch a water ski show and various American landscapes as the choir sings various patriotic songs. This was mostly an enjoyable viewing experience though it would have been a better one if I'd actually seen it at a Cinerama theatre. If you're curious enough, I do recommend it whatever the format. P.S. This marked the last time these people would team up on film: producer Merian C. Copper, music composer Max Steiner, Willis O'Brien who contributed the paintings that begin many sequences, and director Ernest B. Schoedsack who did the beginning square b & w sequence.
