Krakatoa
US (1933): Short
This short film about the 1883 volcanic eruption on the Indonesian island was notable for overwhelming the sound systems of the cinemas of the time. In Australia, the distributors insisted on a power output of 10 watts RMS as a minimum for cinemas wishing to show the movie. This was then considered a large system, and forced many cinemas to upgrade. (Wikipedia.org)
