Why is the perspective so heavily distorted??


I know it's because of the wide lens but I've never seen a film where it is so bad were all the columns in every scene are bent to the breaking point. Is there an explanation?

The TODD-AO lens is know to have this problem.

Absolute garbage, like everything that came from Mike Todd. So the film required his lenses too? Do you know why?
