Lift your cardboard 3-D glasses in respect.
Sidney Pink, the film producer who is considered the father of the feature-length 3-D movie, has died. He was 86.
Pink, who is also known for giving Dustin Hoffman his first big break, died Saturday at his home in Pompano Beach, Fla., after a long illness.
He produced more than 50 films, including the groundbreaking 1952 three-dimensional feature “Bwana Devil.”
Pink was also the writer/producer on a couple of my faves: the ultra-weird Angry Red Planet, Journey To The Seventh Planet, the Danish Godzilla-knockoff (aaahh! monster in Copenhagen!) Reptilicus, and a bunch of late-60s Italian exploitation movies. IMDB entry here
