Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Lee Eisenberg "Third Dimensional Murder" (aka "Murder in 3-D") is one of the shorts that Hollywood used to make to precede movies back in the day. This one is about a man who gets summoned to a castle which turns out to be the domain of all manner of scary things. I just saw it on TV and didn't have anaglyph glasses, so it looked a little odd, but that doesn't matter. It's a fun short, and the perfect movie to watch in October. I suspect that the witch with the spider looked pretty freaky in 3D, and the log must have made people jump.The only movie that I saw in 3D in the theater was Steven Spielberg's "Adventures of Tintin". I wonder if any commercial movie will do it again.

Ted Wilby (tfiddler) I Also have a super 8 copy of this film. There is a 16mm copy on e-bay now as I type... Yes I thought the 3-D was a little off or something, but I see by these other comments, you have to hold the glasses farther from your face. I just had to get back from the screen really far before it looked right, then it was pretty cool. Yes the film is not that good, but the 3-D is fun and it is very early for 3-D so it's historic. I hope some one will put out a sequential DVD of this and some of the other short subjects that were made. How bought you guys who ran the 3-D fest in California a couple years ago? Get some of these new prints you had made on Seq DVD!

preppy-3 A 3-D short with some annoying narrator going into a haunted house and meeting Frankenstein (twice), a witch, a skeleton, an archer, an Indian and assorted other "madmen".The movie is constantly throwing things at you for the effect--but it's pointless if u see it in 2-D (like I did).It is interesting to see they had 3-D technology back in 1941 but this short is just silly.And narrator Pete Smith is SO annoying. Worth a look just for its curiosity value. I really wish TCM could show this in 3-D but they can't. A 3.

budthechud I own a super 8mm film of this movie and its in 3-D..Very cool movie for 3-D. The open frames are flat, but as u go along the 3D kicks in.."The opening shot of "Third Dimensional Murder" is a photo-realistic painting, in 2-D colour, showing a female moviegoer holding the cardboard gizmo properly. Now the movie starts. Pete Smith does his usual narration, in his sarcastic nasal tones. The plot makes no sense: something about the (unseen) narrator going to investigate a murder at a haunted house. The unconvincing monsters keep chucking objects at us. The 3-D cameras were set up with a very narrow parallax; if you watch this thing with standard 3-D eyeglasses you'll end up cross-eyed. The "gags" aren't funny, and the flying objects are too predictable ... at least from our modern standpoint. Let's give this movie some slack for being an early experiment ... not only in 3-D technology but in 3-D storytelling." Hard to believe some one else saw this.
