TotalScope

My dream PEPLUM film would be filmed in TOTALSCOPE. It was popular for 10 years and kicked CinemaScope's distorted butt. I love the logo from GODDESS OF LOVE.

"Years in use: 1956-66; Italy; developed by Henryk Chroscicki; the system had a wide range of anamorphic lenses, from 32mm to 150mm, with hardly any distortion and made CinemaScope almost obsolete in Europe; 450+ features and 1,000+ doc's made use of the system, until it was replaced by Techniscope; a.k.a. Cinetotalscope or Super Totalscope/100; e.g. 'La dolce vita'"
