"Bug Eye" Lens

The Todd-AO (Todd-American Optical) process uses a 65-millimeter film in a camera fitted with a "bug eye" lens nine inches in diameter and of very short focal length. In the theater this film is projected on a wide, deeply curved screen without distortion.

The accompanying high-fidelity sound is projected from five or six loudspeakers placed above the screen.
