CinemaScopeTrade name for a wide-screen process using anamorphic lenses, in which images are compressed during filming and then extended during projection over a wide curved screen. The process was invented by French physicist Henri Chrétien in the late 1920s. The first film to be made in CinemaScope was The Robe (1953), but by the late 1960s it had been largely replaced by another anamorphic lens system, Panavision. |
