The Stewardesses in 3D - Commenced Jun 4, 1982 and ran through to July 23, 1982 - An 8 week season and a box office record for this cinema.

The Stewardesses in 3D was distributed in Australia by Greg Lynch Film Distributors.

3D stereo technology

The film was shot in 35 mm color and projected in a new, single-strip, side-by-side polarized format called StereoVision. The image was compressed horizontally in printing, then expanded with an integrated anamorphic “unsqueezing” lens for projection. Unlike some prior technologies it was impossible for the two film images to go out of sync, because they were side by side on the same strip of film.

Silliphant was the original president of StereoVision International Inc., and was the co-inventor of the basic process alongside Chris Condon.

The Stewardesses is the highest-grossing 3D film in history until the release of Avatar in 2009.

The Stewardesses is a 1969 American 3D softcore comedy film written and directed by Allan Silliphant (credited onscreen as Alf Silliman Jr.) and starring Christina Hart, Monica Gayle, Paula Erickson and Donna Stanley.

Produced on a budget of just over $100,000, the film grossed $26 million over its theatrical run, becoming the highest-grossing 3D film in history until the release of Avatar in 2009. In budget-relative terms it remains the most profitable 3D film ever released. Originally self-rated “X”, in 1971 the film was re-edited with newly shot scenes to receive an “R” rating from the Motion Picture Association of America to qualify for a wide general release.
