## Description

Beautifully remastered for the very first time in 3-D by 3-D Film Archive! The first feature-length 3-dimensional color motion picture in history, Arch Oboler’s eye-popping adventure tale Bwana Devil kickstarted the 3-D movie craze with a roar! When British railway workers in Kenya become the favorite snack of two man-eating lions, the head engineers (Robert Stack and Nigel Bruce) desperately try to cease the slaughter. Big-game hunters are summoned and a vicious battle between man and beast ensues—all in thrilling color and three astonishing dimensions! Filmed using Natural Vision Corporation’s groundbreaking stereoscopic system with the theory “that the 3-D cameras should see and record the scene exactly as the human eyes see it” (cinematographer Joseph F. Biroc), the legendary Bwana Devil now makes the leap from silver screen to home video, promising to put “a lion in your lap” and “a lover in your arms”! Special Features: • Newly Restored in 3-D by 3-D Film Archive - From 4K Scans of the original left/right 35mm camera negatives • 3-D expert Mike Ballew presents THE STORY OF BWANA DEVIL with archival images, poster art and on-set stereo slides • Includes the 2D, Blu-ray 3-D AND Anaglyphic (Red/Cyan) 3-D Versions with One Pair of Anaglyphic 3-D glasses • 1953 2D Color Trailer for the 3D Release • 1954 2D B&W Trailer for the Flat Release • Optional English Subtitles

Review: A Superb Restoration of a Movie Important in Film History - I saw BWANA DEVIL in Philadelphia, PA, probably on the last Sunday of 1952. Until last night, that was the only time I had even seen this movie. I remember the natives' spears coming off the screen and the people in the front rows putting up their hands or ducking. Frankly, that's all I remember of the film itself. I also remember that I thought that the film was terrible! We have a home theater which is equipped with, among other things, a 3D projector and a 110" screen. I have purchased quite a few 3D Blu-ray discs and I really wanted to own this one as it was the first full-length color 3D feature-length film and is therefore very important in film history (it did set off the 3D craze of 1953-1954). The disc arrived on July 30 but we waited to watch it last night (August 1). And do you know what? It's STILL a terrible movie! BUT --- if you are a film lover AND if you have the ability to show 3D movies, you will definitely want to own this disc. Actually everyone can show this film in 3D because the disc contains an "anaglyph" (red-blue) version and the disc comes with one pair of red-blue glasses (if you need more, desertcart has them at very low prices). Unfortunately, if you watch this version, you will see the film essentially in monochrome - Black & White - as there appears to be no way to reproduce full color using the anaglyph method. The disc also contains a "flat" (2D) full-color version but, believe me, THAT is not worth watching (unless you can only watch the 3D version using the anaglyph system which, as I mentioned, shows the movie only in B&W and you do want to see it in full color). There are a couple of extras: Mike Ballew's presentation of the history of BWANA DEVIL is excellent and well-worth watching (it alone is almost worth the price of the disc in my opinion). Plus there are two previews. Even though BWANA DEVIL is a very poor film, it is well-worth owning just for its historical importance. As I mentioned, it was the first full-color sound feature-length film in 3D and it started the 3D "boom" of 1953-54. I have to say that 3 3D Archive and its restoration crew have done a magnificent job of restoring this film - even the Ansco color restoration is superb. And it includes Lloyd Nolan's B&W introduction to the film. The 3D image is excellent and I saw only two or three very brief instances of ghosting. And there is one unintentional effect which both my wife and I noticed: near the beginning of the film, a fly got onto the set and, if you have a large enough screen, you will think there is a fly in your room! Amazing - and funny! I hope Kino-Lorber as well as all associated with the production and distribution of this disc make a lot of money from it. They deserve it! If you've read this review this far, do not hesitate: BUY THIS DISC. (desertcart's current price, $21.98, is a genuine bargain!) Obviously EXTREMELY HIGHLY AND URGENTLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you for your attention to my review. Lawrence H. Bulk
Review: Amazing 3D! Movie is just OK. - Movie isn't the best but the 3D is fantastic. Im adding on an extra star just because I never thought this would be available. Definitely not one to watch for the movie. Watch it for the 3D!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The movie that started the 3D craze in the 1950's
*by S***S on September 5, 2024*

OK, this is not a great movie, but it did start a major move into 3D movies back in the 1950s. The plot is weak, the acting is so-so, and the special effects are less than impressive. So why would I give it five stars? The restoration is great, and the 3D effects are good. When you consider when it was made and how primitive the technology for doing 3d was, it's an impressive movie. If you have seen it in 2D, or bad 3D, you will be surprised how much difference having a pristine print to watch makes. If you like 3D, you will like this movie. If you don't like 3D, don't buy it.
