Answers have been given that some named movies were shown
polarized, 
but certainly some other movies were in black-and-white and 
eventually (also) shown with anaplyph projection, among which 
"The Creature from the Black Lagoon". See the "defintive" book 
on 3-D movies up to 1989:

"3-D Movies : A History and Filmography of Stereoscopic Cinema" 
by R.M. Hayes, McFarland & Comp., Jefferson and London 1989, 
reprint 1998.  ISBN  0786405783.  430 pages, $30.
