Re: Anaglyphic 3-D movies

Well I just dug out my copy of "3-D Movies" by R.M. Hayes, McFarland, 1989,
ISBN 0-89950-407-8. It's very poorly organized for research--"anaglyph" does
not even appear in the index--but I looked up "Creature From The Black Lagoon."

According to Hayes it was shot  in Universal's dual 35mm format and
orginally released in Pola-Lite 3-D (single-strip, side-by-side). The
anaglyph prints were for a 1972 re-issue--at the same time the 16mm and
Super 8mm digests were released.

Because the book is so badly indexed the only way to compile more data is to
go throught the book, listing by listing, and I haven't time for that. But I
also believe that virtually none of the '50s boom pictures were shown
anaglyphically (And believe me, I am old enought to remember).
