Time for film buffs to get acclimated to color noir.

I didn't say it was CinemaScope. I said it's in color. Since you included a few non-CinemaScope titles at the bottom of your list that are in color, is it okay to include INFERNO, too, Roland?
As for the 3-D ... yes, INFERNO is a state-of-the-art stereoscopic experience, though it has been airing flat ever since 1953. Even as a flat 2-d film, INFERNO is an original and engaging noir. As a stereoscopic film, INFERNO is more than that. You included DANGEROUS MISSION (RKO 1954) as a non-CinemaScope noir in color. Did you know it was also filmed in authentic 3-D? To see DANGEROUS MISSION aired in flat 2-d is a better than average noir in fine IB color, but to see it projected in authentic 3-D is impressive indeed.
In any case, I fully endorse your idea to release color noirs on DVD, even if the 3-D titles are flat. Film buffs are interested in these titles. Right now film noir is HOT. I know they will sell well.
