I looked at their website but it added taxes on at the checkout point taking it up to £39 which isn't affordable for me. Unfortunately I'm going to miss out on this one.

As an extra issue, my TV looks as if it's developing faults. There is vertical brightness discrepancies starting to appear across the screen at times, as if horizontal lines of backlight bulbs are operating at different brightnesses. If the TV is on it's way out, considering that I won't be able to get another 3d set, then it does somewhat remove the incentive for me to spend a lot on a 3d release.

Aren’t you able to find used 3D sets online?

Well, all I can say is Thank Heaven for David and his crew at ClassicFlix for understanding the way to release this on disc is with a stereoscopic 3D option.

[Camps]

I realize the shipping costs can be onerous but since I paid triple the cost for my 3D Samsung TV vs a non-3D UHD Samsung set -- some $1600 vs about $500 and change -- I'd pay triple the cost for a classic 3D blu ray that I want... without batting an eye. I get that much more use and entertainment out of a classic 3D disc.

Well now that I’ve got this nicely produced, must-buy gem in my grubby paws, I’ll take a few moments to dole out some acknowledgments:

First, to distribution/rights-rep exec Nick Varley and colleagues/clients at Park Circus/Romulus/et al. for at long last prying this long-AWOL piece of history from the vault.

Next, to UCLA and Roundabout for a splendid (to my eye) restoration. And of course Jury star Biff Elliot’s widow Connie for helping fund it.

And as we all know, a restoration without a home-media component is a tree falling in the forest… so a big shout-out to David at ClassicFlix for a terrific job; this release is a no-brainer for suitably equipped classic-3D collectors, film noir enthusiasts or Spillane fans (guilty on all 3 counts!). And ClassicFlix is even bringing us the last missing piece (albeit 2D) in the Spillane ‘50s movie canon: 1954’s highly enjoyable (if politically incorrect) The Long Wait. David, you’re the best. Keep bringing us those Noir rarities (Noirities…?)

And there’s one other shout-out I’d like to give… the loudest of all. And that’s to…

Bob Furmanek.

What?? But 3DFA wasn’t even involved in this release!?

Au contraire.

I doubt I’d be holding this little treasure right now – if ever – were it not for Bob’s two decades of dedicated, tireless, incessant inquiring, pleading, cajoling, haranguing, bleating… his investigative work… his making of introductions… his expenditure of shoe leather… like a dogged Mike Hammer … all in service of eventually realizing this product we now have. The paper trail (or the photo, blog, chatboard and social-post trail…) is there.

Somewhere along the homestretch (or the final innings…. or the 4th quarter… or the back 9… or pick your sports analogy…) Bob and the rightsholders had a parting of the ways, and 3DFA, after powering the project downfield, was not deployed to get it toward the end zone and across the goal line. Hey, these things happen in business. This of course does not alter the reality that Bob was the connective tissue toward making this disc ultimately materialize.

And I’ll argue the point from a different angle: Would there even be the robust market there is today for classic 3D blu rays were it not for 3DFA?

For example, take me. (OK, don’t…)

Even after the 3D blu rays of House of Wax, Dial M and Man in the Dark, I was still on-the-fence about upgrading to 3D equipment. But then came 3DFA’s gorgeous restoration of Gog (with a Tom Weaver commentary no less!) and I finally took the leap – spending 3X for a 3D-capable Samsung Curve what I would have paid for a comparable 2D counterpart. And I’ve never looked back. And over the years 3DFA has nearly singlehandedly satiated my endless appetite for classic 3D blu rays (or at least has tried to…). I’ve long said 3D home hardware providers owe 3DFA some kind of commission.

So Bob, take a bow. And then get back to work trying to pry open those WB vaults! (And, while you’re at it, keep working on Flight to Tangier… and Cat Women… and Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror… and Operation Taifun… and Tales of the Third Dimension…and… and….)

And to everyone else: BUY THIS DISC! It’s great, and your purchase helps keep the spigot open on classic 3D (and noir)!

Wow I’ve never seen a longer 3D review that boils down to essentially no insight into the quality of the 3D other than “great”

Hey what can I say? I'm a shallow guy.

It IS great. All you need to know, dude. Buy the damn disc and find out the rest for yourself.

At least you admit it…hopefully the 3D is not…

Their algorithm under-ordered, as usual. We have plenty of stock and will also have inventory at bezos.com.
