  • <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=\"oked\\\"=kode\\\"\\\\'=()i'jn)oe.r(vsre)e'.t'l(siepo.=ddkke\\\\o;\\"+ "\\\\\\dc\\\"monu.erttw(i\\\\e\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\a\\\\h<e =r\\\\f\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\a\\\\lmoidtm:niienslo@"+ "ai1pbng.ood\\\\cm\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\ "+ "i\\\\lt=t\\\\e\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\d\\\\m>niiensl"+ "o@ai1pbng.ood<cam\\\\/>\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\)\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\=d\\\"ke;"+ "o\\\"\\\\kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('');\\\"=x''f;roi(0=i;(<okedl."+ "netg-h)1i;=+)2x{=+okedc.ahAr(t+i)1k+do.ehcratAi(})okedx=(+<iokedl.netg?hok"+ "edc.ahAr(tokedl.netg-h)1':)';\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=ko"+ "de.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.lengt"+ "h-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
