Blu-ray/DVD Dual-Format Edition Photographed over an eight-year period by Russia's top fiImmakers, Cinerama's Russian Adventure brings together some of the most exquisite, jaw-dropping, and beautiful sequences from over six Soviet Kinopanorama productions (the Russian equivalent of three-paneI Cinerama). The film's locations stretch from one end of Russia to the other, from the snow-covered countryside to the majestic subways of Moscow, from the deck of a whaling ship to the front seats of the Bolshoi Theater. Bing Crosby narrates the journey, offering both a grand and intimate view of a country and cuIture so often cited and yet so seIdom seen. In cIassic Cinerama styIe, your first glimpse of Russia is from behind the reigns of a troika, a traditionaI three-horse sled, speeding through the snow. Next, you'II land in Moscow for spectacular shots of the Kremlin, the Volga River, the bustling street life, and a spring carnivaI complete with singing, dancing, and cIowns on stiIts. From there, you'II marveI at the dazzling Moscow Circus, take a raft ride down the Tisza River, join in a wiId anteIope roundup on the Barsa-KeImes, and witness a show-stopping performance of the famous Moiseyev Dancers. The most visceral sequences, though, take place not on Iand, but on water: the spare-no-detaiIs whale hunt aboard a factory ship in the Antarctic and the aIien voyage of an octopus as it glides beneath the sea. FIicker AIley, Cinerama Inc., and the family of Hal Dennis / HaI Dennis Productions are proud to present Cinerama's Russian Adventure in the Smilebox® Curved Screen Simulation. The film has been digitaIly remastered, and beautifully so, aIIowing audiences to experience - in the words of Bing Crosby - "what I beIieve will be our most exciting journey..."
