William...what a great idea !!! It would be fantabulous !!! Unfortunately, it would be impossible to do. IF they had elected to film it in 3D in 1960, the technology WAS ALREADY developed & it could've been done. However, it does require filming from two different perspectives at all times....(the two movie cameras must function in tandem to film what your 2 separate eyes would see)...and since it was filmed from only one camera angle, there would be NO alternate perspective to pair it with to create the 3D. Wonderful idea but 42 years too late for the possibility to be decided on. The films that were made in the 50's with the 2 different 3D processes were not popular enough to warrant the film industry to continue with it. The glasses were just "too much bother" for most people to deal with...so it was a good idea which simply did not last. Too bad it could not have found a nitch in the cinema to continue. Jim |
