3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant (1 Viewer)

You might want to look into something as simple and inexpensive as some black felt fabric that you can use some thumbtacks to adjust to move the masking - having that border can make a huge difference in perceived contrast.

I would Josh but I go from 1:33 to scope daily and sometimes during the same day. I would have to spend a lot of time changing it. Our theater is also a guest room so no room for hangers etc. Hopefully someday I can change it - would love to as I agree with you on perceived contrast (would love to be able to paint the ceiling black too but it's not in the cards.) Just glad to have a theater.

Following the December New York premiere of our SANGAREE restoration, we were delighted to receive this very gracious thank you note from the beautiful and legendary Arlene Dahl.

You will soon get to see Arlene's dashing husband Fernando Lamas on 3-D Blu-ray once again in JIVARO!

Check out this fascinating article by Hillary Hess for information on the cancelled 3D re-teaming of Arlene and Fernando in CHUBASCO. http://www.3dfilmarchive.com/jivaro

she has a wonderful script, handwriting still very fluid in advancing years.

Thought she was great in Sangaree... real presence.

I don't suppose anyone got a chance to ask her what happened with Chubasco. Although whatever that was about, whether it was close to happening or just some vague proposal is of little consequence now. After Jivaro, even if it had gone ahead, it probably wouldn't have been a 3-D film, the ship had sailed at that point.

- I wish she'd made as many 3-D movies as Rhonda!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

For a brief moment, their next film after SANGAREE was announced for 3-D lensing as well.

... interesting, that would've been before everyone decided '3-D was dead', and that was a WB release, I thought Warners were fairly gung-ho on 3D. Perhaps they abandoned it because 3-D equipment was in high demand with Hondo or whatever else was filming at the time.

Of course, if it had been 3-D, at this point it'd be just another 3-D vault film for WB to neglect! The 2d film they made doesn't rate highly and seems all but forgotten, so with the added complexity of 3-D restoration, it wouldn't be high on their restoration priorities.

Bob with the news of :four – and possibly five – vintage 3-D gems for release in 2019! When can we expect an announcement for one following Jivaro?

An old Stereo World magazine featuring a story on a Canadian short called Wilderness shot in dual 65mm 3-D. Plus a short piece on what's new at the time: Owensby 3-D movies.

Enjoy:

P.S. I wonder if the 3-D Film Archive has done any work preserving an 65mm 3-D films.

 

[John Sparks]

Just ordered my copy of JIVARO! Can't wait to view it!!!

Thanks for asking, Matt.

At this point, it's looking like the Nudie-Cuties double feature will be next. Get ready to experience Francis Ford Coppola's THE BELLBOY AND THE PLAYGIRLS in all it's restored stereoscopic splendor!

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Quick, Bob, how do I explain it to my wife when she inevitably walks in on me watching it?

The sacrifices we make for our interest in the hobby, Josh!

Did Coppola really have something to do with this film?

 

[Jobla]

I think that poster misspells the name of Karin Dor, the beautiful German actress. Perhaps they were attempting to Americanize her name?

What label is releasing this? Kino Lorber?

Looking forward to it.

Coppola shot the "nudie cutie" inserts for the film, featuring June Wilkinson, and Jack Hill was his DoP.

 

[Johnny Angell]

The dirty old man in me insists I ask if there will be any “in your face” moments.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

 

[Jesse Skeen]

I comfortably watched my field-sequential VHS tape of "The Stewardesses" without much fear of my parents walking in, since it's hard to tell what it is without the glasses.

Bob I seem to recall you hinted at some westerns in the works. Can you say anything further on the subject yet?

 

[Camps]

Bob, I'm looking forward to the next Diamond in the rough that you and your fellow 3DFA Wizards can unearth for us.....

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Sorry, Michael. After an unfortunate incident a few months ago when an over anxious individual went over our heads to confirm a title (causing some issues) I can no longer drop any hints on future projects.

 

[Jobla]

Sorry to hear that, Bob. Some upcoming titles, such as the roadshow version of THE BUBBLE, are already known.
