With this year being the 50th Anniversary of Todd-AO, it is also the 50th Birthday of the Philips DP70 projector. Correctly known as the Philips EL4000 in Europe and the Norelco AAII in the U.S.A. It was Mike Todd Snr who, whilst working at Cinerama, realised that there must be a simpler way to achieve the same "Wrap Around" effect as Cinerama, but using only one projector instead of three, and a single piece of film.
