P3D 3D on television



Message text written by INTERNET:photo-3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
>The documentary "Unknown Marx Brothers" on PBS includes a clip several
seconds long, from a home 3D movie of Groucho Marx. I didn't get a very
good look at the clip, and I wasn't taping the show. The two images were
side by side, I think in color (but not sure), and the narrator implied
that
the clip was made around 1946 (also not sure of that - there was a 2D home
movie clip just before the 3D clip).

I didn't see the show, but you're clearly describing a clip from a Bolex 3D
system (16mm), which were somewhat popular (with those who could afford
them) in the late 40s and early 50s.

If somebody gets a chance to videotape the show, I would appreciate it if
they could describe the clip in greater detail.
