Technicolor Corporation's Technirama process had three different exhibition formats during its life, i.e. 8 perf horizontal 35mm anamorphic, 4 perf 35mm CinemaScope compatible anamorphic, and Todd-AO compatible 70mm spherical, (also used on a few films for Cinerama single film exhibition). In order to avoid fist fights and other ugly events, I have made no mention in this list of the formats used in release prints for the films. While every effort has been made to make this list all inclusive there may be some titles that do not appear, primarily European, particularly those produced in Italy.

It is interesting (?) to note that only six films were shot entirely in the U.S. and one, "My Geisha" only had interiors done at Paramount with the balance of the film being shot in many locations around Japan. Two of the six U.S. films were Disney animations. Most of the films were produced in Italy and Spain with a couple in Japan, France and England. Some of the Italian films were released under a variety of titles.
