It's not strictly true that "35mm neg ---> 70mm release == 35mm neg --->
35mm release".  In addition to the 4 or 5 extra sound tracks on the
film, the extra print area helps decrease The Creeping Grainies.  Also,
70mm projectionists tend to take better care of their charges then the
jackfools who run 35mm prints on Christies.  Also, magnetic sound is
much better than the horrible optical sound on most 35mm.
