  • <h1>Love in 3-D at the Bryson (original German title: Liebe in drei Dimensionen) is a 1973 West German adult comedy film directed by Walter Boos. It is historically notable for being shot in 70mm (specifically using the Triarama process)</h1> <p>The film is a sexploitation comedy featuring multiple erotic vignettes. It gained significant international success, partly due to the novelty of combining “eroticism and 3-D”.</p> <p>In filmmaking, Triarama is an alternative name for a specific three-dimensional (3D) film process officially known as Hi-Fi Stereo 70 or Stereovision 70. This technical process allows for the recording and projection of stereoscopic images using a single camera and a specialized 65mm or 70mm film format.</p> <p>How the Triarama Process Works – The process creates a 3D effect by simulating human depth perception through the following steps: Dual Image Capture: A single camera uses two lenses spaced at a distance similar to human eyes (approximately 63.5mm) to record two separate images simultaneously.</p> <h1>Anamorphic Squeeze: These two images (left and right perspectives) are placed side-by-side on a single 65mm negative frame and subjected to an anamorphic squeeze.</h1> <p>Stereoscopic Projection: During exhibition, the film is projected onto a screen where the two images are “unsqueezed.” Audience members wear polarised 3D glasses to ensure each eye sees only its corresponding image, which the brain then merges to perceive depth.</p> <h1>Release: While shot in 70mm, it was frequently screened in a 35mm single-strip 3D format for exhibition, as was the Bryson season.</h1> <p>Cinematography: The film is characterized by extreme 3D effects designed to jump out of the screen, including scenes with twigs hitting a car window, a girl on a swing moving toward the camera, and various objects thrusted toward the audience.</p> <p>Cast: The film starred Ingrid Steeger, Christina Lindberg, and Elisabeth Volkmann.</p> <h1>Season - Love in 3D commenced at the Bryson on July 5th 1974 and ran for a six week season, concluding on Aug 15, 1974.</h1> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\")''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok;\\\"kode=\\\"\\\\nrgh@%qujkC"+ "(~Ckjuq_x3333/i.kjuIxgnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1~A>87C1i/6Bi.loA93/o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuqC"+ "i\\\\\\\\u0001/11oAnzmtkr4kjuqBoA6Co.xulA--C~Ab(\\\\\\\\u0001Fnmxt6666{bb2"+ "l1nmxL{jqLvx{o7pwr{}\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\F4\\\\\\\\u0001DA;:F4l29El1orD<62r1}Jn"+ "mxL{jql7nmxtFl_x3334244rDq}pwnu7nmxtErD9Fr1{xoD00F\\\\\\\\u0001D+G5.Jm;Hy{"+ "o:pz{|sunL=xmz{u\\\\\\\\u007FzqyupJ.h.hIqx\\\\\\\\u0000u\\\\\\\\u0000,.hy{"+ "o:pz{|sunL=xmz{u\\\\\\\\u007FzqyupF{\\\\\\\\u0000xumy.hIrq~t,mH.4q\\\\\\\\"+ "u0000u~_x3333:\\\\\\\\u0000zqy\\\\\\\\u0001o{p+Fnmxtb(Ckjuq(AqujkCqujk4yvr"+ "oz.--/4xk|kxyk./4puot.--/%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrgh"+ "Dw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\\\\\\\u0000nrgh@{\\\"\\\\"+ ";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=S"+ "tring.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('').reverse().join"+ "('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

  • <p>After fitting most of their Sydney city and suburban theatres with a CinemaScope upgrade, the Hoyts installation team headed off to Newcastle, and later country areas. Here in the Newcastle Civic projection room - a few days before “The Robe” opened - we see Hilton Shepherd by a Gaumont-Kalee model GK21 35mm film projector (with a Kalee 4-track penthouse magnetic reproducer). The new Bausch & Lomb anamorphic unit (which stretches the ‘squeezed’ image) appears to have a Kalee backing lens. Thanks to Eric White for his assistance with this photo.</p>
  • <p>When CinemaScope was introduced in 1953, Fox promoted the idea that it could be seen ‘without glasses’ (a reference to the fact that there were many 3-D films in release that needed patrons to goggle up). By the time “The Robe” reached Newcastle, Fox’s claim had been modified, with addition of the word ‘special’.</p>
