P3D Hold the Rumor, Please

>In the early fifties it was not uncommon to shoot two versions of the
1st Cinemascope films, due to the lack of widescreen theateres and
for safty if the ultra-wide 2.55:1 Cinemascope format did not catch
on. For safty, the 1st 'Scope film "The Robe" was shot in standard
1.33:1, Cinemascope 2.55:1, *and* in 3-D!<

Whoops! Here we go again! "The Robe" WAS shot in 'scope and "square-screen"
versions, but it was NOT shot in 3D! This rumor got started a couple of
years ago when someone in a Usenet group made a wildly garbled
misinterpretation of a memo which had been reprinted somewhere and
announced his "discovery" that there was a 3D version of "The Robe." It
ain't so.
