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.

The Stewardesses - In budget-relative terms it remains the most profitable 3D film ever released

Produced on a budget of just over $100,000, the film grossed $26 million over its theatrical run. 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.

The film was shot in 35 mm color and projected in a new, single-strip, side-by-side polarized format called StereoVision.

Description - The image was compressed horizontally in printing, then expanded with an integrated anamorphic “un-squeezing” 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. All showings used sturdier plastic-framed polarized glasses, rather than the familiar paper ones of the 1950s. Silliphant was the original president of StereoVision International Inc., and was the co-inventor of the basic process alongside Chris Condon..

In 1972, the film was blown up to side-by-side 70 mm 3D, which removed the requirement for anamorphics due to the wider frame.
