Originally in 3D?
when this film was first shown in theaters, was it shown in 3D?
there are several instances, especially the first 15 minutes with falling rocks and boulders coming directly at the viewer, where the 3D perspective was used. flying knives, falls from horses, high perspectives over rivers, and river cataracts make me suspect 3D was somehow involved in the shooting and editing.
imdb does not specifically identify movies shot and released in 3D, although a stray credit would indicate it. (the 1953 House of Wax has a credit for 3D consultant but no other mention in the overview proper.)
some movies were intended for 3D release, but post-production decisions resulted in a standard release. ummmm....
anyway, does anyone have any info or ideas about The Naked Spur?
david lean could create a great movie, the rest catch lightning in a bottle.
