Dial M For Murder in 3D

Image - Chicago Tribune Fri Feb 5, 1982

The dual-strip system was used for the February 1980 revival of Dial M For Murder in 3D at the York Theater in San Francisco, California. This revival performed so well that Warner Bros. did a limited national re-release of the film in February 1982 using Chris Condon’s single-strip StereoVision 3-D system. The re-release included a sold-out engagement at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Single-strip StereoVision 3-D system - Description detailed below

In 1970, Stereovision, a new entity founded by director/inventor Allan Silliphant and optical designer Chris Condon, developed a different 35 mm single-strip format, which printed two images squeezed side-by-side and used an anamorphic lens to widen the pictures through polaroid filters. The revival of House of Wax in 3D used the same system.
