Our restoration of MONEY FROM HOME is now at the finish line! The cleaned digital files have just been delivered to Greg Kintz from Charlotte Barker at the Paramount Pictures Archive. The last step is final master assembly and our work is complete! To celebrate the completion of this truly herculean task (more than two years in the making) we have posted a new article on our website; “An In-Depth Look at Money from Home” by Ted Okuda, Mike Ballew, John Chintala, Hillary Hess, and Brandon Lang. If you consult any books that have been written about Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, or 3-D movies in general, little has been written about this production. We have spent the past year poring through studio records, industry trade journals, and newspaper archives to tell the story of Martin and Lewis and their unbelievably hectic work schedule in 1953. Utilizing primary source documents, you will read the complete tale of this significant Golden Age 3-D classic and why so few people got to see it in third dimension seventy-two years ago. Watch for a pre-order link for the 3-D Blu-ray release from Kino Lorber VERY SOON! https://3dfilmarchive.com/money-from-home/

Occasionally when interviewed, I am asked what started this lifelong passion for 3D. it began 60 years ago tonight when Batman premiered on ABC. I was nearly 5 years old and captivated by the black and white images on our living room television. For my 5th birthday that May, I was given the Magic Eyes Tru-Vue set and the color stereo scenes (from the first Catwoman episode) absolutely captured my imagination and began my three-dimensional journey. Ironically, when I moved to LA in 1984 to work for Jerry Lewis, I met Adam West and I wound up working for him. He was a wonderful man and we became good friends.
