Barrel Theatrette 254 Swanston Street, Melbourne, VIC - A 3D First which resulted in huge box office..

The film was shot in Stereoscopic 3-D at studios in Stockholm with exteriors in Denmark.

What the Swedish Butler Saw is a 1975 Swedish-American erotic sex comedy film and was shot and released in polarized (clear glasses) 3-D. Directed by Vernon P. Becker and starring Ole Søltoft, Sue Longhurst, Malou Cartwright and Diana Dors. It is known by several alternative titles including A Man with a Maid, The Groove Room and Champagnegalopp. The film is loosely based on the 1908 erotic novel The Way of a Man with a Maid.

During the 3-D revival of the 1980s, the film was re-released under the title Tickled Pink, but the release did keep the Swedish Butler credit sequence intact.
