3D moviesIn 1953, the first 3D motion picture produced and released by a major company, Man in the Dark, opened at the Globe Theater in New York City, starring Edmond O'Brien. The next 3D feature movie, The House of Wax, was the first from a major company in colour and opened only two days later, at the Paramount Theater in NYC. The idea, however was not new. The first 3D feature film, The Power of Love, made in the U.S. by Perfect Pictures in 1922, used the familiar method of providing to the audience spectacles with one red and one green lens to produce the illusion of depth. The first 3D talking picture in colour, a Russian production of Robinson Crusoe, was shown in Moscow in Feb 1947. |
