September Storm and Harmony Lane

To everyone that backed our Kickstarter campaign with 3-D SPACE to save SEPTEMBER STORM, thank you very much!

Scroll down for a list of the generous individuals who have made this restoration possible. We could not have saved it without you.

There is information at the bottom of this page about our discovery and restoration of the lost British 3-D short, HARMONY LANE.

This lobbycard features a rare view of Lamar Boren with the underwater 3-D camera rig.

The following newsreel footage is silent. Here is the original narration: It's a big day for the U.S. Spearfishing team that is soon to compete for international honors in Sicily - and this huddle around San Diego's finest pool has more to it than meets the eye - a mystery explained by the world premiere of "September Storm", an aquatic thriller filmed in Stereo-Vision, the new third-dimensional CinemaScope process. It's a benefit opening to raise the money necessary to send the spear fishermen to Italy and they attend in a body with their lady-friends. The latter in bikinis that are replicas of that worn by Joanne Dru, the heroine of "September Storm". It's San Diego's theatrical sensation of the decade and public comments label it - "Cool, man, Cool."

We are extremely grateful to the following individuals for their generous financial support which enabled us to restore this film:

In August 2014, we discovered the lost 3-D film HARMONY LANE buried deep in the vaults of the British Film Institute. Directed by Lewis Gilbert (as Byron Gill) and photographed by A.E. Jeakins in March 1953, it sat on the shelf until the end of 1954 when it was finally released flat.

This delightful 27 minute short is like spending a night at the Palladium with several variety acts. They include dancing by the Jack Billings Trio; a song by the Beverley Sisters; "Swan Lake" by Svetlana Beriosova and David Paltenghi of the Sadler's Wells Ballet; precision dancing by The Television Toppers and a comedy routine with Dora Bryan and Max Bygraves. The orchestra was directed by future Hammer Studios composer, Philip Martell.

Art direction was by future Oscar and Emmy nominee Michael Stringer and the excellent stereo cinematography was the work of Brian Smith. In 1951, Smith had directed the first British 3-D short in Technicolor, DISTANT THAMES/ROYAL RIVER which was a tremendous success at the Festival of Britain and the Edinburgh Film Festival.

HARMONY LANE has never been seen in 3-D and we are thrilled to announce its stereoscopic debut on our upcoming Blu-ray release of SEPTEMBER STORM!
