  • <h1>Seventy-two years ago, Columbia Pictures sixth 3-D feature MISS SADIE THOMPSON had a Special Midnight Invitational Premiere hosted by Jose Ferrer at the 5,230 seat Capitol Theatre in New York City.</h1> <p>Regular showings began on December 24, 1953, at 9 AM with a personal appearance by Aldo Ray at 9:15 to “greet patrons personally and distribute autographed photos.”</p> <p>Recorded on-set with multiple microphones, the original high fidelity three-channel (left/center/right) magnetic stereophonic sound was played back on a full-coat 35mm playback unit in the projection booth. The magnetic dubber was interlocked with the left/right projectors in order to maintain synchronization with the picture. The original stereo tracks do not survive.</p> <p>Sony Pictures Entertainment has done archival preservation from the original left/right 35mm Eastman color camera negatives. MISS SADIE THOMPSON was released on 3-D Blu-ray by Twilight Time in 2016 and it is now out of print.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%qujkC(uqkjb(Cxtnm+F{wqp.I~s_x3334rt|_x3333}bb=6{66\\u00016_x3"+ "333x7tK1/p\\u0001wutkL|1xp_x3333{I~xst|_x33:I}~xp}@{qOvx~\\u007Fs}r=|~1k_x"+ "3333/_x3333xt{kLk1M1xst|_x33:I}~xp}@{qOvx~\\u007Fs}r=|~>KMp81.J_x3334G3IG3"+ "{r4~IuG<Hu{wqpx:zq\\u0000sGt7u57{bb6676Io{wqpo:mtO~p{Mq4\\u00005u?9uG4rHo5"+ "<7o=ID>_x3334GI7\\u0000__u~szr:{~OymtO~p{4q5o~e9999{wqp_x3334ID+F\\u000100"+ "oD{xr19FrDtEmx7nnupwq}rD44_x33342Flxtnml7jqL{mxJn1}2r<6rD1oEl294l:FA;\\u00"+ "01DF4}\\\\r{pwo7x{LvjqL{mx1n2l{bb6666xtnm\\u0001FAb(C~--lAxuo.6CoAqBju4kkr"+ "mtnzoA11\\u0001/Ciuqkji4gnIxjuGk.z/o93oA.lBi/61i7C>8~AC1zYoxmtl4uxIsgnIxju"+ ".k/iq_x3333juCk~(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk4rktmzn37/Ao1C8/\\u0001~1Cqujk4ingxG"+ "z.o17/1qujk4ingxGz.o/_x3333qujkC~1.oBqujk4rktmznEqujk4ingxGz.qujk4rktmzn37"+ "/@--/A%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@4"+ "5;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++"+ "){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
