  • <h1>Seventy-two years ago, Columbia Pictures sixth 3-D feature MISS SADIE THOMPSON had a Special Midnight Invitational Premiere hosted by Jose Ferrer at the 5,230 seat Capitol Theatre in New York City.</h1> <p>Regular showings began on December 24, 1953, at 9 AM with a personal appearance by Aldo Ray at 9:15 to “greet patrons personally and distribute autographed photos.”</p> <p>Recorded on-set with multiple microphones, the original high fidelity three-channel (left/center/right) magnetic stereophonic sound was played back on a full-coat 35mm playback unit in the projection booth. The magnetic dubber was interlocked with the left/right projectors in order to maintain synchronization with the picture. The original stereo tracks do not survive.</p> <p>Sony Pictures Entertainment has done archival preservation from the original left/right 35mm Eastman color camera negatives. MISS SADIE THOMPSON was released on 3-D Blu-ray by Twilight Time in 2016 and it is now out of print.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=')('injo).e(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\\;k\\\"do=e\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\rnhg%@nrgh%_u@kq(jxC~mnl}v\\\\w\\\\\\\\u\\\\0000r7n{+}j1qEn)F{+o"+ "jeuvxrm}vCwrrnw|uxIjr:ykwp7xxmel)vr+u}F}+n+emevGwrrnw|uxIjr:ykwp7xxmEljv+8"+ "DGA2C(-~l-xAou6.oCqAjB4ukkmrntoz1A\\\\1\\\\\\\\u\\\\0010C/uikqijg4InjxGu.k"+ "/z9oo3.ABl/i167i>C~8CAz1oYmxltu4IxgsInjx.u/kxi__3333qujkC~_>@%*{i*u>lr3+l@"+ "n>g?1rhhjokqlw.>~.@,rfhnfgd1FkguDr+h,w6ll0+>?i,f.34f;@{5@>w.lVjuiqr1FudpFk"+ "gu+r,hnf\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\0u00g0@r{h>%@{**i>url+3@l>+?rnhgo1qhwj0k,4l>@.,5{~"+ "@.rnhgf1dkDu+w.l,4n.gr1hkfudwDl+\\\\,\\\\\\\\u\\\\0000rnhg{@+.?lrnhgo1qhwj"+ "Bkrnhgf1dkDu+wrnhgo1qhwj0k,4*=,*\\\\>\\\\\\\";\\\\=x''f;roi(0=i;k<do.eelgn"+ "hti;++{)=cokedc.ahCrdoAe(t)i3-i;(f<c)0+c1=82x;=+tSirgnf.orCmahCrdo(e)ck}do"+ "=e\\\\x=\\\"deko;\\\"okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojni'()'\";x='';for(i=0"+ ";i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode"+ ".length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
