SUBLIME CINEMA #583 - HOUSE OF WAX

House of Wax was the first 3D color film by a major studio, and it caused a sensation. It’s still great fun without the glasses.  

Andre de Toth couldn’t see 3D since he lost his eye after a terrifying incident; scouting locations in Egypt after the Yom Kippur war, de Toth was kidnapped, pistol whipped and interrogated by a group of men who had mistaken him for Moyshe Dayan. 

“He only escaped with his life after a quick examination of his groin bore out De Toth’s claim that far from being an Israeli commander, he was not even Jewish.”
