- **Event Name**: BLOOD AND SAND (1941) 85th Anniversary- Disney Restorations Series
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: TECHNICOLOR CLASSIC BLOOD AND SAND CELEBRATES ITS 85TH ANNIVERSARY IN VIBRANT NEW DISNEY RESTORATION AT THE ORINDA THEATRE MARCH 7th AT 1 AND 7 P.M.

Tyrone Power, Rita Hayworth, and Linda Darnell never looked more stunning than when they were photographed in Technicolor by Ray Rennahan and Ernest Palmer for Blood and Sand released in 1941. The two won the Oscar for Best Cinematography, Color, at the 1942 Academy Award® ceremony. Newly restored by the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Restoration and Library Management Department, the palpable Technicolor palette is truly bigger than life. The Orinda Theatre is proud to offer this remarkable film, in its 85th anniversary presentation, as the very next film in the theatre's year-long Disney Restorations Series.

Adding to the excitement of this Northern California restoration premiere is the appearance of Kevin Schaeffer, Director of the Restoration and Library Management Department at Disney.  Mr. Schaeffer will travel from the “movie capital" to introduce both Saturday screenings of Blood and Sand at the Orinda Theatre and offer examples of how the film looked before his team started the restoration and after they completed that painstaking process.

Disney has been an industry leader of film preservation for many decades and has documented and preserved its own studio's fabled and remarkable history since the beginning. This special department also became custodian and archive for several additional library brands acquired later by the studio, including the Selznick International library and, in 2019, the collections of 20th Century-Fox, and predecessors 20th Century Pictures and Fox Film Corp. Since these libraries were acquired, the Restoration and Library Department, has effected a rigorous and active restoration schedule of these titles and assets in addition to the Disney studio library materials.

The Orinda Theatre offers the restored Blood and Sand at 1 and 7 P.M. on March 7th to showcase the commitment that Disney has to film preservation. The chance to see it as intended, on the giant screen in the Orinda's original 1941 auditorium of 750 seats, provides an ideal setting to see this and many other films in this series that have been unavailable theatrically for several years.  

The projection format for these presentations will be DCP, screened by a qualified projectionist from Local 107 of the IATSE.

Based on the book by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, Blood and Sand is the story of an illiterate Spanish man, Juan Gallardo, played by Tyrone Power, who rises to fame and fortune in the bullring while becoming involved in a love triangle with Carmen, the girl that always loved him, played by Linda Darnell, and socialite Doña Sol, played by Rita Hayworth. Also in the cast are: Alla Nazimova, Anthony Quinn, J. Carrol Naish, Lynn Bari, John Carradine, Laird Creger, George Reeves, and Pedro de Cordoba. Produced originally by Darryl F. Zanuck for 20th Century-Fox, Blood and Sand has a fantastic score by Alfred Newman and was directed by Ruben Mamoulian.
