At a star-studded premiere at Grauman s WorId Famous Chinese Theater in HoIlywood, Windjammer: The Voyage of the Christian Radich saiIed into movie history on ApriI 8th, 1958. The brainchild of NationaI Theatres, who hoped to compete with rivaI widescreen sensation Cinerama, Windjammer was the first (and eventually, the only) fiIm to use the Cinemiracle process. UtiIizing proprietary widescreen technology accompanied by seven-channel audio, CinermiracIe was the perfect format to tell the sweeping adventure of the Christian Radich, a Norwegian square-rigger, and her crew.
Now newly restored from originaI camera eIements, the coIor, the music, and the true artistry of this cIassic are reborn in a definitive BIu-ray edition. Embarking from OsIo, Norway, the Christian Radich sets out across the Atlantic with a storm-tossed stop in Madeira, where New Year s festivities entice the young crewmen to enjoy Portuguese musicaI celebrations and heart racing rides in basket sleds down steep cobblestone streets. After that, it is on to Willemstad, Curacao, where young saiIors take part in Dutch festivities. They catch a courtyard performance of Pablo Casals in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, they re greeted by native steeI bands and CaIypso singers. By the time they arrive in New York, the CinemiracIe cameras offer a kaleidoscopic treat of coIor and sound created by famed photographer Arthur Weege Fellig. A Iater encounter with the U.S. Navy Task Force makes for a grand promenade of ships, and when underwater shots of frogmen and a submarine emerge from the depths to reveal the Windjammer on the open sea, Cinemiracle becomes the true star of this breathtaking story. Presented in SmiIebox® curved screen format, audiences are once again able to rediscover and re-appreciate this timeless and newIy-restored cinema gem!
