This addition to the depth gallery shows infinitesimal advances on its predecessors. Starring June Vohis, the girl with the "3-D curves." and George Montgomery. It still falls to get out of the rut of mediocrity. Direction is not below standard, but continued use of the 3-D effect to startle the audience becomes monotonous. The plot, for all its weaknesses, did offer possibilities. The obvious advantages of intimate 3-D close-ups is demonstrated by June but she overplays her part and the effectiveness of her rosy contours is lessened. George Montgomery plays a mearocre part.
Sam Kitzmann is the producer of this latest effort. If the selection already seen indicates the average standard of production. In the stereoscopic field, the 2-D will continue to more than hold their own tin N.Z., at least).
