The CinemaScope Films of 20th Century Fox on Blu-Ray Disc

[Cecil B. DeMille]

The CinemaScope Films of 20th Century Fox



What is CinemaScope?
CinemaScope was the first commercially used widescreen process. By means of an anamorphic lens, a 2.35:1 image was squeezed onto a regular 35mm film frame. Later, the picture was unsqueezed by placing an anamorphic lens in front of the projector. This way, widescreen pictures could continue using existing 35mm equipment (as opposed to the 70mm formats introduced in the late 1950s, which required larger and more expensive cameras). This process was invented and patented by Frenchman Henri Chrétien in 1926 as Anamorphoscope. When American movie audiences rejected cinema in favor of television in the 1950s, Hollywood started to experiment with widescreen formats like Cinerama (This is Cinerama, 1952). In order to beat the Hollywood competition, 20th Century Fox under the leadership of Spyros Skouras bought the patents from Chrétien and invested heavily into widescreen, bankrolling the production of "The Robe", "How to Marry a Millionaire" and "Beneath the 12-Mile Reef". Premiering on September 16, 1953, in New York City, "The Robe" was a great success for Fox. Rival studios first masked their Academy ratio productions to compete with Fox's new CinemaScope pictures, but would soon switch production to anamorphic widescreen themselves. The widescreen revolution had begun. Cinema would never be the same again.
Fox studio composer Alfred Newman even composed an extended version of the Fox fanfare. Re-introduced in 1977 by "Star Wars", this version remains the better-known version of the fanfare today:

An overview of all American releases of Fox CinemaScope films on Blu-Ray Disc




European releases of Fox CinemaScope films without an North American Blu-Ray release

[CMG]

Very thorough list. Most impressive that you had enough patience to do that! That takes some work.

Couple of addendums:

RACERS, The (1955-Action) did come out on homevideo. CBS/Fox Video released it in 1991. Not a lot of people bought it; I kept the 2001 Movies Unlimited Video Catalog and in it "The Racers" was for sale new at $39.95. I guess it was never a 'sell-thru' title or there would be more copies of it around. I have a CBS/Fox Video of "The Racers" in my video stash. I bought it used; wasn't easy to find.

SEVEN CITIES OF GOLD (1955) was released on CBS/Fox PLAYHOUSE Video in 1988. Not that anyone's going to be breaking down doors to get hold of it, but it did come out on Playhouse.

♦Video Nugget♦ In regards to STRIPPER, The (1963) . . . it was released on KEY Video in 1986. I special-ordered myself a copy many moons ago. It was already OOP a number of years before I endeavoured to do the 'special-order' bit, but because it wasn't priced as a 'sell-thru' there were still copies sitting in warehouses for years after KEY Video was folded by its parent company CBS/Fox. I reckon that would've been 1990/91 when KEY was discontinued and I didn't pick up THE STRIPPER until '96 or '97. I'd found it to rent 1 time in a cut/box and the video store wouldn't sell me the rental copy even though I doubt it rented much. So I did one of those special-order things to get hold of a new KEY. Wasn't cheap.

→ It's a shame that HOW TO BE VERY VERY POPULAR (1955) hasn't been released on any homevideo medium. I've seen the movie twice and enjoyed it. I'd have bought it.

I picked up a W/S DVD of "Do Not Disturb" (1965) less than a month ago. I noted it's on the CinemaScope list you put together.

[ToonySpoonGoon]

The Lieutenant Wore Skirts is available to rent on most digital platforms and its sourced from a 4K restoration with its original 4-Track restored too (in a 5.1 container)

It's a shame nobody ever released it, open the vaults Disney!!

[CinemaScope]

Yup, great list (a ton of work there). But one title is missing off the end, In Like Flint (1967), in fact there's some argument as to what was the last CinemaScape film, Caprice or In Like Flint. Both Flint films are still available on Blu-ray from France, if you can play region B. They're dead cheap, but selling out fast.

[Douglas R]

The German Pidax 23 Paces to Baker Street could be a bootleg? But anyway, the title is correctly shown in the US releases, from Kino Lorber.

[CMG]

VIVIEN LEIGH wasn't in a lot of movies overall but remains rather well-known to this day . . . why DEEP BLUE SEA (1955) has never had any kind of homevideo release is a mystery.

Director Anatole Litvak also helmed THE LADY IN THE CAR WITH GLASSES AND A GUN (1970-French), which has never had a homevideo release to date, either. There was a remake of this film in 2015, I believe, and it's easy enough to find but the 1970 movie is not.

I'd buy DEEP BLUE SEA on disc were it to be (finally) issued to homevideo viewers.

Vivien Leigh only featured in 4 movies released after 1950; I've got the other three which admittedly are all easy to find.

DEEP BLUE SEA remains elusive on the homevideo front . . .

[CMG]

Looking over the list again I wonder if FOX and Nunnally Johnson's estate have a disagreement about those 2 films? I noted both HOW TO BE VERY VERY POPULAR (1955) and THE MAN WHO UNDERSTOOD WOMEN (1959) are both MIA on any homevideo medium. Both have good casts so it's not as if the stars are obscure players who no one's ever heard of.

That said, there looks to be 5 other Nunnally Johnson films on the list that have been issued to homevideo one one format or another. Wonder what the deal is with those two, though? Odd.

Yes I often wonder what's happened to THE DEEP BLUE SEA. I've only seen it once very many decades ago before colour TV was around!

I see that there's a comment on IMDb from someone who saw the film at the BFI in 2013. It was a faded print with sound damage and splices but the BFI said no better print could be found anywhere in the world.
