It certainly fits into the epic cycle of 1950s Hollywood.

I never thought of the film as a road show--you're right that it would have been amazing to see it then! I've always had a special affection for this film since it's the first Disney I saw in the theater, and as an adult, I'm still blown away by its artistry. Thank you for letting me know more about this lovely film. carygrantwonteatyou.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113307554617254662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250418020131864595.post-86356517398843854842015-06-29T18:27:27.732-07:002015-06-29T18:27:27.732-07:00Thank you so much for your comment, Ruth!

Though I have been lucky enough to see SB on the big screen several times, like you I would love to have been able to see it in one of those specially selected theaters at the time of it's release. I wish I had one or two of Walt's ideas, period, never mind a million! Thanks so much to you and Fritzi and Aurora (any relation to Briar Rose???) for hosting this fantastic blogathon.

It was probably inconvenient for many filmgoers, as you've described, but I suspect it would have been worth it.<br /><br />I didn't realize there were so many "firsts" with this film. Walt Disney was a man with remarkable vision, wasn't he? If I were to come up with one or two of his millions of ideas, I would consider myself a genius – ha ha.<br /><br />Thanks so much for joining the blogathon with this gorgeous film.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.com
