Seventy years ago on May 26, 1953, the Sonney Amus

Seventy years ago on May 26, 1953, the Sonney Amusement Enterprises feature SIDE STREETS OF HOLLYWOOD had its first known screening at the Midway Drive-In Theatre in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It opened in Los Angeles at the Paris Theatre on June 3, 1953.

In April 1953, exploitation producer Dan Sonney acquired rights from producer Klaytan W. Kirby to his flat 1952 feature A VIRGIN IN HOLLYWOOD. He added an anaglyphic 3-D sequence with the burlesque shorts DANCE OF THE BLONDE SLAVES REVENGE and MADONNA AND HER BUBBLES to create this “new” 3-D feature release.

Dan Sonney produced six additional 3-D burlesque shorts in 1953. You'll be seeing more on those in the months ahead.

3-D Film Archive restored this eight-minute segment from the original left/right 35mm camera negatives. It will soon be seen for the first time in polarized 3-D on our ROBOT MONSTER Blu-ray release from BayView Entertainment. https://3dfilmarchive.com/available-film-restorations/

Seventy years ago on May 26, 1953, Universal-Inter

Seventy years ago on May 26, 1953, Universal-International’s first 3-D feature IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE - with its accompanying 3-D short NAT KING COLE WITH RUSS MORGAN’S ORCHESTRA - had its gala World Premiere at the RKO Pantages and Hillstreet Theatres in Los Angeles.

It opened in Chicago at the United Artists Theatre on June 10 and in New York at Loew’s State Theatre on June 17, 1953.

Composed during principal photography in late January through early March 1953 for the standard aspect ratio of 1.37:1, some theatres would present it in widescreen cropped to UI's recommended ratio of 1.85:1. It was available to theatres with interlocked full coat three-channel magnetic stereophonic sound.

Originally considered for sepia-tone printing, those plans were dropped after studio technicians saw the dim 3-D image during night scenes in Columbia’s sepia release, MAN IN THE DARK.

This was the first of four Golden Age stereoscopic features directed by Jack Arnold. He also directed THE GLASS WEB, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and REVENGE OF THE CREATURE for Universal-International.

The Nat "King" Cole short exists in 3-D and we have tried to license it for restoration. Unfortunately, excessive use of music in the short makes clearance for a Blu-ray release impossible. NBCUniversal will not even consider a license for that reason.

3-D Film Archive created a digital 3-D master of the feature in 2017 from the best available elements and we have restored the original three-channel stereophonic sound. It is available on 3-D Blu-ray. https://3dfilmarchive.com/available-film-restorations/

Seventy years ago on May 26, 1953, Paramount Pictures first 3-D feature SANGAREE had its gala World Premiere at the Lucas and Weiss Theatres in Savannah, Georgia.

It opened in New York at the Victoria Theatre on June 4, 1953; in Los Angeles - with the 3 Stooges short SPOOKS - at the Hawaii and United Artists Theatres (plus five drive-ins) on June 24 and finally played in Chicago (in 2-D) at the United Artists Theatre on October 28, 1953.

Composed during principal photography in late January through early March 1953 for the standard aspect ratio of 1.37:1, some theatres would present it in widescreen cropped to Paramount's recommended ratio of 1.66:1.

This was the first of three Golden Age stereoscopic features from William Pine and William Thomas, the “Dollar Bills.” They also produced THOSE REDHEADS FROM SEATTLE and JIVARO for Paramount Pictures.

3-D Film Archive restored SANGAREE from 35mm elements and it is currently available on 3-D Blu-ray in PARAVISION DREAMS: THE GOLDEN AGE 3-D FILMS OF PINE AND THOMAS from Kino Lorber. https://3dfilmarchive.com/available-film-restorations/

Seventy years ago, the first 3-D feature from Paramount Pictures was coming soon.

"This is the 3-D picture that was worth waiting for! Not speed but bigness was Paramount's goal in assembling the great selling elements that make this an important attraction for every screen!"

3-D Film Archive restored SANGAREE from 35mm elements and it is currently available on 3-D Blu-ray in PARAVISION DREAMS: THE GOLDEN AGE 3-D FILMS OF PINE AND THOMAS from Kino Lorber. https://3dfilmarchive.com/available-film-restorations/

Seventy years ago on May 18, 1953, the first—and

Seventy years ago on May 18, 1953, the first—and only—3-D newsreel ROCKY MARCIANO VS. JERSEY JOE WALCOTT opened around the country. This short documents the heavyweight championship bout between champ Marciano and challenger Walcott at the Chicago Stadium on May 15, 1953, presented by the International Boxing Club.

In order to have the May 15 footage edited, printed and in theaters on May 18, the 35mm negatives were flown by chartered plane from Chicago to New York within 30 minutes after the fight. Because of the early knockout (Marciano KO’d Walcott in the first round), training camp footage shot on April 2 was used to pad out the short to a two-reel length.

Shot by cinematographer John W. Boyle with “stereo direction” by Raphael G. Wolff (3-Dimension by Stereo-Cine, Inc.) and released by United Artists, this unique stereoscopic film provides a fascinating ringside seat at a very controversial fight.

This 3-D short has been preserved and restored by 3-D Film Archive and is available on our acclaimed 2015 3-D RARITIES Blu-ray release from Flicker Alley. https://3dfilmarchive.com/available-film-restorations/

Seventy years ago this week, Mr. Exhibitor could finally purchase high-quality permanent 3-D polarized glasses for the viewing comfort of his audience. They will "last forever with normal use." Is anyone still using them today?

For the first time, the heated battle over polaroid glasses in 1953 will be thoroughly documented in a new book coming from stereoscopic cinema expert Mike Ballew, "Close Enough to Touch: 3-D Comes to Hollywood."

Keep both eyes on our website for exciting updates on this essential publication!

Seventy years ago on May 8, 1953, Columbia's first

Seventy years ago on May 8, 1953, Columbia's first color 3-D feature FORT TI had its gala World Premiere at the State Theatre in Ticonderoga, NY. This special pre-release screening was in advance of the nationwide release later that month. It opened in Chicago at the United Artists Theatre on May 27, 1953; in Los Angeles - with Walt Disney's cartoon MELODY - at the Paramount Theatres in Downtown and Hollywood on May 28 and in New York City - with the 3 Stooges short SPOOKS - at the Criterion Theatre on May 29.

FORT TI was the first Eastman color 3-D feature to be printed in dye-transfer Technicolor. Composed during principal photography in February/early March 1953 for the standard aspect ratio of 1.37:1, some theatres would present it in widescreen cropped to Columbia's recommended ratio of 1.85:1. It was available to theatres with interlocked full coat three-channel magnetic stereophonic sound (now lost) but this advance premiere in Ticonderoga was presented in mono.

This was the first of three Golden Age stereoscopic features directed by legendary gimmick king, William Castle. He also directed DRUMS OF TAHITI and JESSE JAMES VS. THE DALTONS in 3-D for Sam Katzman at Columbia Pictures.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has done archival preservation from the original left/right 35mm Eastman color camera negatives. Unfortunately, they have not yet created a restored digital 3-D master which would allow both 3-D Blu-ray release and DCP availability for theatrical bookings.

Let's hope that situation changes very soon so that we can once again enjoy "The First Great Outdoor Epic of America in 3 Dimensions" as it was meant to be seen!

Seventy years ago, on May 1, 1953, filming was completed on Hal Wallis’ 1.4-million-dollar production of MONEY FROM HOME starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis; one of the most significant Golden Age stereoscopic features. However, very few people saw it in 3-D when it was released in early 1954.

Kino Lorber Studio Classics has secured the license and 3-D Film Archive will be restoring this three-dimensional gem for 3-D Blu-ray release. For the first time on a vintage 3-D film restoration, preservation 4K scans are being done by Paramount Archives from the original Technicolor YCM 35mm camera negatives.

This is an unprecedented preservation effort and to recognize the significance of this important archival achievement, Sean Thrunk of Crimson Mountain Productions is producing a new documentary that will detail the complex and painstaking work going into this massive 3-D film restoration.

Check out the YouTube link in our bio and watch the 3-D News page at 3dfilmarchive.com for updates and additional information on this VERY exciting project!

70 years ago on May 1, 1953, Lippert Pictures released their second 3-D short, COLLEGE CAPERS with Dolores Fuller. Available to theatres in either dual-35mm polarized 3-D or single-strip red/cyan anaglyphic 3-D, it was a very popular release and remained in circulation throughout the fall. Many theatres and drive-ins that did not install dual-35mm polarized 3-D projection capability played the anaglyphic version. It was often paired with the Lippert features BAD BLONDE and BACHELOR IN PARIS for a triple-feature "all-girl" show. It was almost lost when all of the 35mm pre-print elements were junked by Consolidated Film Industries in the 1970s. UCLA had been offered the material but declined. It was restored in 2021 by 3-D Film Archive from the last surviving - and VERY faded - 35mm anaglyphic print. You can see it as a bonus extra on our REVENGE OF THE SHOGUN WOMEN 3-D Blu-ray release from Kino Lorber.
