That's very interesting, David. You might enjoy my new article which talks about Colonel Bernier and his work with developing various 3-D systems. http://www.3dfilmarchive.com/home/The-Bubble

It's not. As I've indicated, Morrissey is not about to spend ANY money on this film.

You might have to drop four of those zeroes in order to get Mr. Morrissey's attention...

As I recall, every close-up is shot this way and the movie has a lot of close-ups. We would certainly welcome the challenge but I'm not optimistic!

Perhaps but how accessible would Russian patents be to Bernier during the Cold War?

That's very interesting, Mike. I'm currently preparing an article for our upcoming Blu-ray of THE BUBBLE and can share this: Colonel Bernier first developed his single-strip over/under lens system in 1953. It was called Naturama. I don't believe he borrowed anything from the Soviet design.

If some people have issues on their display with ghosting (aka crosstalk) on DIAL M or HOUSE OF WAX, this one would start them screaming. Morrissey ignored all the rules of stereoscopic cinematography. There's just no way to fix some of the shots in the film, including the one I've posted.

I agree 100%. I was cordial and made him laugh when I replied that I have this bad habit: I like to eat once in a while. I just got the impression that he's very old-school and wants an expert to work gratis just for the experience and privilege. Well, maybe if it was 1981 and I was 20 years old!

I wish I knew, Reed. My discussion with Morrissey was not successful. He was willing to pay for an HD scan but wanted the 3-D alignment work done for free. I wished him luck.

Occasionally there are well done shots, when Morrissey actually listened to Bernier. But they are the exception and not the rule. For years I had rosy memories of TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS. I was twenty when it was released. Then I tried to watch it in 3-D about five years ago and had to...

I should add that when I suggested to Morrissey that we would try to fix the alignment issues, he snapped - "There's nothing wrong with the way I shot it!"

Warhol was involved with the project right from the start. When I spoke with Paul Morrissey, he got agitated when I referred to film as ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN. He wanted it known as FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN. It began filming in March 1973.

I'm sorry to say it but stereoscopically, this film is a mess. Colonel Robert V. Bernier was a 3-D expert with 30+ years of experience when he was hired as Technical Advisor on the film. He built the Space-Vision Trioptiscope lens and knew what you could and could not do with it. Morrissey...
