''This is Cinerama'' is a 1952 full-length film designed to introduce the widescreen process Cinerama, which broadens the aspect ratio so the viewer's peripheral vision is involved. ''This is Cinerama'' premiered on 30 September 1952 at the New York Broadway theatre, in New York City. ==Synopsis== The film begins in black-and-white and in standard 4:3 aspect ratio, as travel writer and newscaster Lowell Thomas appears on screen to discuss the evolution of motion picture entertainment, from the earliest cave paintings designed to suggest movement, up to the introduction of color and sound. At the conclusion of the 12-minute lecture, Thomas speaks the words "This is Cinerama" and the screen expands into the full Cinerama aspect ratio and colour as a series of vignettes, narrated by Thomas begin. The film includes scenes of the roller coaster from Rockaways' Playland, then moves on to a scene of the temple dance from ''Aida'', views of Niagara Falls, a performance by a church choir (out of pace with the rest of the film, this segment is shot in black and white), a performance by the Vienna Boys' Choir, scenes of the canals of Venice, a military tattoo in Edinburgh, a bullfight, more from ''Aida'', a sound demonstration in stereo, scenes from Cypress Gardens amusement park including a water skiing show,〔Water skis, incidentally, having been first patented by Fred Waller, inventor of Cinerama,〕 and the playing of ''America the Beautiful'' as scenes are shown from the nose of a low flying B-25. The producers were Thomas, Merian C. Cooper, and Robert L. Bendick, directed by Bendick (and an uncredited Mike Todd, Jr.). Cooper had long experience with technical innovation in cinema, including ''King Kong''.
