  • <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=\"nrgh@%rnhg_%@uqkj(Cxtnm+F2D002C6:}qwpunn7xm1tJ}j{lqn7xmHt}qwpunn7xm"+ "Et1r\\u00014nFxmbt6{66261rJ}j{lqn7xm4t:2r4}1{Jqj7lmntx4F__\\u00013x3324F;r"+ "42D6:}qwpunn7xm1trE9DrF{1ox0DF0D\\u0001+en\\u0001xFbm6{66t62l1nmxL{jqLvx{o"+ "7pwr{}\\\\F4\\u0001DA;:F4l29El1orD<62r1}JnmxL{jql7nmxtFl__23x3344D4}rwqupn"+ "nx7EmDtFr19xrD{0o\\u00010eFe+DeG5.Jm;Hy{o:pz{|sunL=xmz{u\\u007FzqyupJ.h.hI"+ "qx\\u0000u\\u0000,.hy{o:pz{|sunL=xmz{u\\u007FzqyupF{\\u0000xumy.hIrq~t,mH."+ "4q\\u0000u~__:3x33z3y\\u0000oqp\\u0001F{+eeenmxt+enFxm+ttDmxFnxtnm|7uy}r01"+ "20{7\\u007Fn{nn|21s7rx1w00(2~A-CA-ul.xCoA6Bouqkjr4tkzmAn1o/1i\\u0001qCju4k"+ "nixguIkjzGo.3/A9loi.6Bi/C187A>1~YCxzto4mxlsunIxguIkji.__/3x33q3juCk_%~{>*@"+ ">*ri+u@l>3?lrnhgo1qhwj>k.l,.f~n@gr1hkfudrFhgwDl+0,>6ilf+3?f,@.54>;.{V@uwql"+ "1juiprkFudrFhgf+\\u0000,rnhg{@%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nr"+ "gh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh"+ "1ohqjwk04,=**,>\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;i"+ "f(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
