Running time
Cinerama Holiday is a 1955 film shot in Cinerama. Structured as a criss-cross travel documentary, it shows an American couple (John and Betty Marsh) traveling in Europe and a Swiss couple (Fred Troller and Beatrice Troller)[3] traveling in the United States. Like all of the original Cinerama productions, the emphasis is on spectacle and scenery. The European sequences include a point-of-view bobsled ride, while the U.S. sequences include a point-of-view landing on an aircraft carrier.
Places
Places visited include Davos, Paris, New Orleans & an early Las Vegas.

Largely unseen for decades, the film was released on Blu-ray in 2013, restored and remastered from the original camera negatives.[5]
