Greatly anticipated!

After watching Mr. Lamas in both a hilarious Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour episode and in an Esther Williams musical, I'm sold on seeing him in more things. And in 3D, no less! I'm in!

Last night Bob showed us the final check disc for SANGAREE on his Epson 5040 projection system, as far as I know it is the same as the finished product. Much like "Those Redheads from Seattle," the 3-D in this film is superb - maximum layered depth with well-rounded images. Expertly staged and blocked for maximum dimensional effect. No cardboard cutouts or "2.5-D" like modern films. A number of off-screen effects are present, but reserved for specific impact for the most part. The movie is an pretty engaging period melodrama, not a musical, so it should have a wider audience appeal. Lamas and Dahl make an excellent screen couple.

The Archive team have again corrected most every 3-D alignment issue and the film has zero eyestrain and, of course, no ghosting whatsoever. The digital cleanup has removed loads of dirt and artifacts without affecting the picture quality. It's presented in the original Academy 1.37 aspect ratio with strong mono sound. An absolutely essential extra is the restoration demo, which shows just how far gone most of the film was, color-wise, and what was done to bring it back. Yes, there are some parts that are not correctable without a humongous additional investment in time and money, but the overall effort for this release is superlative.

Vintage 3-D fans can pre-order with confidence!

Pre-order DONE!

Like all of their projects, this one sounds like it has been worth the wait, but I'm really anxious to see another Golden Age title!

I was introduced to Fernando Lamas by "I Love Lucy" and then was recently reacquainted by his appearance in an Esther Williams musical. I'm looking forward to seeing him in 3D!

I was also at Bob's advanced showing last week, and I agree with what Pete said further up this thread. The 3D Archive has done another incredible job. Keep up the good work. You are keeping our 3D film heritage alive!
