Germany and other countries in the fiftes did 3D films too?


It's hard to believe ,that other countries in the 1953- 54 period was doing 3D films too cause there is no evidence.I am a fan of German cinema .Before the war during the war after word all the way up to the 70's.Although I have not seen everything .I have got Romy Schneider first film she did in 53 and Heinz Ruhmans first color feature he Did in 53.No hint that this was in 3D.Germany did there only feature in 55 that was in 4 channel stereo and CinemaScope,The Kings Waltz, .German director Helmaut Kautner did his first technicolor film ,Germany's first in 55 about king Ludwig,but, there is nothing that I have in knowledge about u.f.a or other German and Austrian film companies doing there 3D films, except the two short that the Nazis did in 1936-37.I believe what wiki might of been referring to is that the American distribution of 3D films were successful.House of wax and kiss me Kate ,probably stereo dubbed to subtitles popping out.That it dies in the same period,for the same reason it dies here,not necessarily bad movies,but,phase and synchronicity problems too.German studio like to save money.This is why non of them never showed the name of the actors at the end of the film cause the film goer had a little pamphlet that told them every thing.They and other countries back in the fifties weren't going got wast their money on a technology that did not last long.Any way as i studied in spite of t.v German still went to movies more than Americans did in that period .The studios did not have to beg the banks for loans to put out 3D or wide screen or stereo yet .Japan bull! there was no 3d film made in Japan.The gate of hell could have been made in 3d .but it was not .I doubt it if Italian comedian Tito did 3d or even a young Sofia Loren period. Europe was already skeptical about the process,probably and they weren't so sure about wide screen,except for the Italy and that one film the German studios or Austrian studios produced in that period ,oops I forgot about France

There's a 1940s Russian version of Robinson Crusoe made in 3D (without the need for 3D glasses). The movie still exists but the projection system is long gone, at least until Sony manage to perfect theirs and convince everyone it's something new.
