MarshaKatz Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Great titles. I think Levant's is very clever. Thanks. I really enjoyed Mae West's "Goodness Had Nothing To Do With It". It's a witty, entertaining, funny, sometimes sad, definitely naughty and wonderfully written autobiography which really delves into the beginnings of Miss West's career. Now, there's an actress I'd really like to meet and have a nice long chat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention the bestseller Bill Cosby published in the 80s called Fatherhood...but then I discovered it was ghost-written. It's a memoir where he's talking about humorous things that supposedly happened with his kids. How much came from Cosby himself and how much came from the other writer is anyone's guess.

I am wondering if there were foreign films, possibly Japanese films, that used 3-D in the 1950s. Anyone know..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Hitchcock's "Dial M For Murder" (1954) I tend to forget about this one being in 3-D. Maybe it's because I don't usually associate the technology with Hitchcock. Earlier I mentioned KISS ME KATE. It was released when the fad was dying-- so MGM pulled the picture and re-released it in the regular format. Supposedly people were tired of wearing the special glasses. The novelty had ended.

MarshaKatz Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A 1954 British Crime Film called "The Diamond" (released in the U.S. as "The Diamond Wizard"), which starred Dennis O'Keefe, Margaret Sheridan, and Philip Friend, had the distinction of being Britain's first 3-D film. However, according to the British Film Institute, it was shown in 3-D only once on September 13, 2006 in Hollywood. Despite the 2006 showing, the film was listed on the BFI 75 Most Wanted list of lost films.
