  • <h1>Photo courtesy of Fred Hurlbert</h1> <h1>3-D Film Archive, LLC writes - May 8, 1953, Columbia’s first color 3-D feature FORT TI had its gala World Premiere at the State Theatre in Ticonderoga, NY. This special pre-release screening was in advance of the nationwide release later that month.</h1> <p>It opened in Chicago at the United Artists Theatre on May 27, 1953; in Los Angeles - with Walt Disney’s cartoon MELODY - at the Paramount Theatres in Downtown and Hollywood on May 28 and in New York City - with the 3 Stooges short SPOOKS - at the Criterion Theatre on May 29.</p> <p>FORT TI was the first Eastman color 3-D feature to be printed in dye-transfer Technicolor. Composed during principal photography in February/early March 1953 for the standard aspect ratio of 1.37:1, some theatres would present it in widescreen cropped to Columbia’s recommended ratio of 1.85:1.</p> <p>It was available to theatres with interlocked full coat three-channel magnetic stereophonic sound (now lost) but this advance premiere in Ticonderoga was presented in mono.</p> <p>This was the first of three Golden Age stereoscopic features directed by legendary gimmick king, William Castle. He also directed DRUMS OF TAHITI and JESSE JAMES VS. THE DALTONS in 3-D for Sam Katzman at Columbia Pictures.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\";)'':)1-htgnel.edok(tArahc.edok?htgnel.edok<i(+x=edok})i(tArahc.edo"+ "k+)1+i(tArahc.edok=+x{)2=+i;)1-htgnel.edok(<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\"xe=od}kc)e("+ "odrChamCro.fngriSt+=;x28=1c+0)c<f(;i-3i)t(eAodrCha.cdekoc=){++;ithnglee.od"+ "<k;i=0(ior;f''x=\\\"\\\\;,>**,=04wkqjohh1rg+nDwdufkh1rgBnwkqjohh1rg?n+l{.h"+ "@rg0n00u0,\\\\\\\\+lDwdufkh1rg.n4,l.w+uDkd1fghnr.@~{5,.@>l4,k0jwhq1oghnr?+"+ ">l@3+lru>i**{@%>*,q*r+1l+mv,hhhu1y*u+,l*sw1ogvnhhrr@>gnn_%rgh@___%rgxfhpwq"+ "z1luhw_______%+d?k#hu@__%i__________d___polrwg=plqhlvqrodC4lesjqr1gr___f__"+ "p_____%#__l___wow@__%h______________%___________g___AplqhlvqrodC4lesjqr1gr"+ "f?pd__%2__A___>,___%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l"+ ".4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,0n00u0g\\\\\\\\@r.hl{n+g?1rhhjokqnwgB1rkhufwdnDg+1rhhjok"+ "q4w=0*,>*@,_%hgrn@%ghnr=\\\"\\\\deko\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').revers"+ "e().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
