This is a great DVD, I can't recommend it highly enough. Containing original theatrical trailers for almost all the 3-D movies from the 1950's, along with some rare footage from 3-D movies going back to the 1930's, it is a must for fans of the stereoscopic cinema. A couple of the trailers are 3-D versions specially converted to the anaglyphic 3-D format, and the 30s footage is also in this format, the enclosed glasses are all you need to watch that portion of the DVD.

You'll NEVER find this stuff anywhere else on DVD; 50 trailers for all but four of the 3-D films produced from 1952 - 1955.

Most are in 2-D naturally, transferred from 35mm prints, some from 16mm prints and several ad snipes. SubuCat did an outstanding job presenting all of them here in one disc.

If you like the series of "42nd Street" trailer compilations then you'll watch this one from beginning to end as well. Those old ads are addictive.

The deluxe disc also features a lot of bonuses including previously lost 3-D footage.

This is one of my very few discs that I'll never part with. Core Collection.

DVD contained trailers of many old 3D films, which I enjoyed a great deal, although they would have been more interesting if the trailers had been shown in 3D complete with glasses. This made viewing somewhat disappointing.
