Highly Recommended Please Note: The screen shots accompanying this review come from the DVD portion of Cinerama Holiday. The Movie: Vegas roulette tables and slot machines, Parisian can-can girls, ice capades, a county fair, yodelers, hotshot Navy pilots – viewing the 1955 production Cinerama Holiday is like being part of a schizophrenic slide show at your senile grandparents’ home.
