Been enthralled with NaturalVision 3-D since, as an eight year old kid, saw ‘House of Wax’ at the first screening on its opening day at the palatial Chicago Theater.
Was plucky enough to see all ‘Wax’, ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’, and ‘It Came from Outer Space’ all in first run.
Although ‘Kiss Me Kate’ and ‘Dial M for Murder’ hit Chicago flat. Many years later saw both with pristine prints in double system 35 projection, and was wowed. ‘Kiss Me Kate’, due to its Cole Porter wickedness, was probably the most clever of all the films shot in the process.
