In honor of 3-D's 50th Anniversary, let's test your knowledge of some little-known 3-D facts:
1. Vincent Price was billed as "Mr. 3-D." He starred in four 3-D features - name them.
2. There was one lovely actress who could have been called "Ms. 3-D." She starred in three 3-D features. Name the actress, and the movies.
3. During the Golden Age of 3-D, there was only one film that was a 3-D sequel to an earlier 3-D title. What were the two films?
4. Andre DeToth directed HOUSE OF WAX, and had monocular vision. He directed two more 3-D movies. Can you name them?
5. The Three Stooges appeared in two 3-D shorts, SPOOKS and PARDON MY BACKFIRE. However, Columbia made one more 3-D short in 1953. What was the title, and the star?
6. Technicolor built a massive 3-D camera which utilized a pair of interlocked three-strip cameras. (Imagine the raw stock bill on these productions!) Each scene was photographed with 6 rolls of negative film: yellow, cyan, magenta left and Y,C,M right. Name the only two features photographed with this costly camera rig.
7. What popular recording artist appeared in a Universal-International 3-D musical short?
8. KISS ME KATE was billed as the first "Important Big Musical in 3-D!" What was the first 3-D musical which beat KATE to theatres by nearly two months?
9. Clint Eastwood made one of his first screen appearances in a 3-D film. Name the film.
10. What 3-D movie was banned in several cities because it was initially released without a Seal of Approval from the Production Code office?
Let's see who can get the most correct answers. The winner gets a pair of tickets to every 50th anniversary 3-D screening in 2003 and 2004 at the Loew's Jersey.
