Auction History Result BEHIND THE GREAT WALL 1sh '58  Lease from Hershenson/Allen ArchiveAn Original Vintage One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) La Muraglia Cinese (released in the U.S. as "Behind the Great Wall"), the 1958 Carlo Lizzani Italian documentary ("For the first time!.. The Bamboo Curtain Has Been Lifted! -offering YOU spectacles of a land staggering to behold!!!"; "See The Tiger Trap - The Marriage of a Twenty Year Old Beauty to a 10 Year Old Boy - The Fantastic Race Down the Yellow River - The Fiery Funeral Ceremony"; "See The Luscious Doll Maidens - The Mighty Mongol Warriors - The Great Gobi Desert Race - The Fiercest Hand-to-Hand Combat in the World"; "See The Birds Who Stalk Fish - The Hunter Eagles of the North - All the Mysteries of this Tremendous Country ... 'Behind the Great Wall'"; "Sights and Scenes to Defy the Imagination") narrated by Chet Huntley. Note that some U.S. theaters (or perhaps just one - see below) showed this film in AromaRama. This was a process invented by Charles Weiss in which scents were emitted from the air conditioning vents at specific times to re-create the smell of what was seen on the screen. Scents included: harbors and docks, honky tonk odors, rustic barnyard, tiger, almond cake, construction, fireworks and many more. We have only seen this gimmick mentioned in a souvenir program book and we imagine not many theaters ordered the equipment needed to feature AromaRama, and it may have only occurred at the DeMille Theatre in New York.
