#1 Film in 1955: Cinerama Holiday


 

Cinerama Holiday was an unusual number one film. Hardly anyone has heard of it today, but it was a roadshow film specially designed to illustrate the benefits of the Cinerama format. The film depicted two couples on vacation- a Swiss couple touring the United States and an American couple touring Europe. While the format never really took off commercially, this film became 1955's number one film.
