  • <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_%@nrgh_%__n@gr__h___%@__g@n{,h+rg\\u0000FfdhFrruikjpluw1"+ "@q{u;V4..>,5?@+fl36f,i+>D0glFwdhfrhurk@1~g.nlfk,j.h>1wgqnolh3rl?u>i@*+@r>>"+ "__*{_______%____/D__5As(igjBuum4ht7vgouFyrktooDtbsbjk(z(zC(rsoi&jbuum4ht7v"+ "gouFyrktoo@tzsojsubrlgx(_&CBk.nzgx(4ktos}izjk__{u_______%____hr____@g____n"+ ">_%rnhgn@gr1hsvlo+w**1,huhyvu+h1,rmql*+__*,_%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk0"+ "4,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnr"+ "gh1fkduDw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,>>_%@{**i>url+3@l>+?rnhgo1qhwj0k,4l>@.,5{~@.rn"+ "hgf1dkDu+w.l,4n.gr1hkfudwDl+\\u0000,rnhg{@+.?lrnhgo1qhwjBkrnhgf1dkDu+wrnhg"+ "o1qhwj0k,4*=,*>%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,."+ "nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{.+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,>"+ "\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+"+ "=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
