Just to set the record straight, this movie was shot in Super Technirama 70 (which is just Technirama but called this when shown in 70mm).
This is a format with 8 perforation horizontally moving camera negative like VistaVision but with a slight anamorphic squeeze to take in a full Scope-like frame. It can be printed with an additional squeeze to render CinemaScope-compatible 35mm 4-perf prints with greater sharpness due to the double-sized camera negative (intermediate and print stocks can carry a great deal better resolution as they do not need to be as "fast" as camera negative) and billed as Technirama. Or unsqueezed and printed onto 70mm and billed as Super Technirama 70.
And, yes, it was officially a Cinerama film. No, not what most of us would call "real" Cinerama with the triple camera and three projectors but Cinerama owns the trademark and can apply it to anything they wish. Just as IMAX slaps their name on crappy digital projection nowadays.
