A rare 35mm print of the 1969 epic western "Mackenna's Gold" will be shown as part of the annual film festival at the Schauberg Cinerama Theatre in Karlsruhe, Germany on October 8. The three day festival will present an astonishing eleven screenings of film in the 70mm format. The "Mackenna's Gold" print will be the German dubbed version in Technicolor with 4-track magnetic stereo. The movie was a boxoffice bomb in America despite a high profile cast that included Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif and Telly Savalas. However, as the www.in70mm.com web site points out, it did well in certain international venues. The film has developed a cult following over the decades with retro movie lovers, though almost all are critical of the abundance of poor rear screen projection techniques utilized. Nevertheless, "Mackenna's Gold" features some of the most sweeping vistas ever seen in a Hollywood production and the story is highly entertaining.
