You're welcome.

I respectfully disagree. For 3-D films in 1953, the intermission point was part of the entire creative process. The filmmakers, script writers, directors and entire creative team knew their work would be presented in 99.5% of 3-D presentations with an intermission. For that reason, the films...

Perhaps they want to replicate the presentation at the tiny handful of movie palaces that had 4 projectors and ran it without an intermission?

Around the 50 minute point, right after the scene where Ferrer confronts her and calls her a prostitute. She screams at him, goes to her room and it fades to the Intermission title. Too bad they didn't include it.

The restoration was done by Grover Crisp and his team at Sony.

No, SADIE was in wide 3-D release throughout early 1954 for any theater that wished to present it stereoscopically. Another myth is repeated. Sigh. Do the notes discuss the historic significance of this film being the first Hollywood production recorded on location in multi-channel sound? They...

Wonderful, thanks for sharing. Philadelphia had a lot to do with the final nail in 3-D's coffin in 1954: http://www.3dfilmarchive.com/dial-m-blu-ray-review

Thanks, Dan. That's a great memory, thanks for sharing. What other 3-D movies did you see in Philadelphia?

Not true. What did change into the Christmas/New Year's release was Columbia dropping the requirement that theaters had to play it in 3-D, but it was still available and many 3-D bookings continued into 1954.

I think Mill Creek has locked up the rights on that one. Unfortunately, they released it flat.

But Todd, didn't anyone tell you, 3-D is dead?!

It's on the master but Sony elected to remove it from the DCP.

While I enjoy MAN IN THE DARK, that would not have been my first choice for Blu-ray release from the Sony 3-D library. If I were calling the shots on the nine Golden Age Columbia 3-D titles and three shorts, here's the order I would go with: 1. The Mad Magician 2. Miss Sadie Thompson 3...

With SADIE ready to go, it's a very simple process to author and release on 3-D Blu-ray. Grover Crisp and his restoration team at Sony have done all the work. On GORILLA, we would need to identify the current transfer (hopefully it's the same side from start to finish), scan the opposing side...

That seems an odd way to drum up excitement about the release but rest assured, the steady flow of product on 3-D Blu-ray from the 3-D Film Archive next year (and beyond) will satisfy your Golden Age 3-D needs!

SADIE is restored and a 3-D master is ready to go. All they have to do is author and replicate. GORILLA is not ready and Fox does not have a left/right master so no work has been done. In fact, they don't know what side they have mastered in HD. Nobody made note of it on the file...
