Unlike the Cinerama process that joined three screens into a single unbroken entity, the three screens for To Be Alive were separated by one foot of space.In 1966, a book based on the film was released by S.C. Johnson. This text included an endorsement by Ralph J. Bunche, the Nobel Prizewinning United Nations undersecretary. ........
