Unfortunately, in part due to poor or careless screenings on the part of theater owners across the country, the 3-D craze was fading and the movie was released flat. The 3-D Film Archive has located and preserved the film from the original negatives, and it looks fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe faced many unique challenges in restoring this lost stereoscopic feature, including the deterioration of important 35mm elements. We rescued it just in time,\u201d says 3-D Film Archive founder and director Bob Furmanek. \u201cThe original stereoscopic alignment issues have now been corrected and the 3-D presentation is flawless. Sixty years later, we can finally see it as the filmmakers originally intended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having seen the restored version of Dragonfly Squadron on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=B61018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">3-D Blu-ray<\/a>, which is now available, I can unequivocally concur with Mr. Furmanek. I have never considered myself a fan of 3-D movies, but it was only after watching Squadron in its original format that I realized I\u2019d actually never seen a vintage 3-D movie before, period. Or one offered with this much care \u2013 the 3-D version of The Wizard of Oz, which I enjoyed, doesn\u2019t count since the movie wasn\u2019t originally made in 3-D. Subtract the Oz magic to the added 3-D elements and I have to say Squadron looks better. I\u2019ll add that I went to a screening of The Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-D, but in comparison it was an abomination since it was screened using that red\/green process, anaglyph (thanks to Jack Theakston for giving me the name), which is just awful.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there\u2019s nothing gimmicky about the 3-D in Dragonfly Squadron. No one ever stops what they\u2019re doing to fling stuff at the camera. Instead the restoration allows for natural depth to shine through, adding to the drama, as in real life. The exterior shots are particularly stunning and the 3-D alignment is flawless. I am duly impressed. The print is not rid of imperfections completely, or \u201cscrubbed clean\u201d as Bob referred to it, which to me adds to the charm of classics in the first place. A tiny bit of grain here and there makes it look more like film.<\/p>\n<p>I had the opportunity to ask Furmanek why Dragonfly Squadron was chosen for restoration. I\u2019d never even heard of the movie before. His answer: \u201cit deserves it.\u201d Unfortunately, as he stated, so do about 45 other movies that&#8211;just like it&#8211;were made in 3-D during 1953-1954, but were released in flat versions instead and have subsequently been ignored. Bob and his partners \u2013 Greg Kintz and Jack Theakston \u2013 were able to get their hands on Squadron, leaving the others caught up in studios that don\u2019t care if they\u2019re ever seen again\u2026or, at least, certainly not in their original state. It\u2019s infuriating, if you ask me. Particularly after seeing how great this movie looks in this release, which was accomplished at a fraction of what it cost Universal to restore The Creature from the Black Lagoon, as an example.\u00a0 And the fact that the studios care not to restore these films only makes this release that much more significant. By the way, on its website, the 3-D Film Archive offers a historical perspective of why the release of this and other films were changed to flat as well as full details of the restoration of Dragonfly Squadron. It\u2019s worth a look.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/korean-war-drama-dragonfly-squadron-soars-3-d-blu-ray\/dragonfly-squadron-2-2\/#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-44213\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-44213\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/DRAGONFLY-SQUADRON-2.gif\" alt=\"DRAGONFLY SQUADRON 2\" width=\"415\" height=\"290\" \/><\/a>I should probably mention that aside from the 3-D restoration, which as I mentioned in itself makes this a \u201cmust,\u201d Dragonfly Squadron is a decent movie with a great cast that includes <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/siteSearch.asp?search=John%20Hodiak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">John Hodiak<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/siteSearch.asp?search=Barbara%20Britton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Barbara Britton<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/siteSearch.asp?search=Bruce%20Bennett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bruce Bennett<\/a>, Jess Barker, Gerald Mohr, Chuck Connors and Benson Fong, along with a host of other familiar faces. The story is about Air Force Major Matthew Brady (Hodiak), who\u2019s assigned to train a squadron of South Korean pilots in half the time actually needed. While at the air base in Korea&#8211;oh yeah, this takes place during the Korean War (unusual as it was actually during the Korean War that the film was made and released)&#8211;Brady runs into a former lover (Britton) who is the wife of an Army doctor (Bennett) previously thought dead. The romantic triangle adds to the drama as the dangers of war close in on the base, until enemy forces invade and most of the Americans are evacuated. All except Brady, who stays behind with the barely trained South Korean troops.<\/p>\n<p>The Dragonfly Squadron Blu-ray, distributed by Olive Films, includes both 3-D and 2-D versions of the film as well as the original theatrical trailer (The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/musite\/product.asp?sku=D53439\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">DVD version<\/a>, unfortunately is 2-D only). You\u2019d do yourself a favor to take a look at it. Hopefully its success will open the door for other classic titles to be brought back to life before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p><em>Aurora is a\u00a0classic film fan and blogger.
