    • REMEMBERING WIDESCREEN
    • WEST SIDE STORY
        "...The film was introduced by Wolfram Hannemann who made special reference to the film director’s and distributor’s original request to cinemas on how to correctly exhibit the fantastic overture sequence to this film. The director Robert Wise, was aware that in exhibiting “roadshow” movies, cinemas played the overture music with the screen curtains closed and the house lights fully on. He did not want the fidelity of the overture music to this film compromised or part muffled by closed curtains and he couldn’t show a blank screen if the curtains were open for the overture. He asked Saul Bass, the brilliant titles designer, to produce an abstract image that could be projected as the overture played. The instructions sent out with the prints at the time specified that the curtains should open and the abstract image be projected onto the screen with the house lights dimmed to 75% brightness during most of the overture, so that the audience would realise that this was the overture and that the film had not yet begun. The instructions specified at which exact point the lights should be dimmed fully to display that unforgettable and brilliant few seconds when the abstract image dissolves into the start of the film. This audio visual “tour de force” of this overture transition is one of the great moments in the history of cinema exhibition. Hannemann set the projection team the task of following Wise’s instructions and they delivered the showing of the overture as it should be shown - it was the start of another fabulous 70 mm screening at Bradford – which is part of what makes these annual weekends so special... ..."
