"loud, garish and trashy -- but not so much so as to be more than intermittently fun and amusing." 3-D Films The French Line was filmed in RKO's own 3-D process which they titled "Future Dimension". Bwana Devil - 1952 is often credited as the first 3-D film. Recent advances in 3-D films including IMAX 3-D and 3D are opening a new era of 3-D filmmaking. For an extensive index of 3D films see List of 3D films. Availability The only known surviving 3-D print of "The French Line" was screened at The World 3-D Expo 2006 September 15, 2006 at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, CA. The print included the very rare uncensored version of the "Lookin' for Trouble" number. Turner Home Entertainment released "The French Line" on VHS in 1989. Although the box claimed the print to be "The Original Studio Edition" it was the re-edited version with the censored "Lookin' for Trouble" number. The VHS has been out of print for several years. It periodically surfaces on various auction web sites. The Turner Classic Movie (TCM) cable channel occasionally shows the censored version on TV. ABC Television in Australia also occasionally airs the censored version.
