Hitchcock's "Dial M For Murder" has been shown LOTS of times on >TV. Of course, they don't show the original 3-D print, but way it goes. The original article implied that the movie had been shown on TV in 3D. In order to do this the original movie must have been shot in b&w or the print must be transmitted in monochrome as the process used (at least here in Portland) alternates each frame from the left and right film using a red and green filter. A pair of glasses using red and green lenses are used to separate the images. Obviously a color TV set is required. The following is an incomplete list of 3D movies, produced in the mid 50's, that have appeared on TV. Most were in color and most were shown in 2D. Two prints are required to show the films in 3D, for 2D only the right or left print needs to be used: Bwana Devil United Artists The movie that started it all. House Of Wax Warner Bros. Vincent Price's favorite role. Murders Of The Rue Morgue WB Man in gorilla suit runs amuck. Fort Ti Columbia George Montgomery in deerskin The Maze* Allied Artist Large frog runs amuck. Kiss Me Kate MGM Good Musical (Howard Keel) Them WB Atomic ants run amuck. Hannah Lee UA Western in shades of blue. Inferno TCF How not to spend weekend. It Came From Outer Space* UI Flying saucer lands in desert. The Creature From The Black Lagoon* UI Man in fish suit runs amuck. Return Of The Creature UI You guessed it. The French Line RKO Jane Russell on the high seas. Dial M For Murder Paramount Hitchcock movie. 5000 Fingers of Dr. T Columbia Piano teacher runs amuck. Magog UA Good robots vs bad robots The Mask* ? No comment I, The Jury* Columbia Mike Hammer flick The Bride Of The Gorilla* ? Title tells all. Wings Of The Hawk UI Sort of Zorro in 3D Kiss Me Deadly Columbia Mike Hammer strikes again. * shot in b&w This is not a complete list. -- Dave Williams Tektronix, Inc.
