This 1981 stinker tried to bring back 3D. It was absolutely mind-numbingly boring. Worse, they jacked up the 3D effect, probably by spacing the cameras too far apart. The only thing that will give you a headache faster than having depth perception out to 300 yards is using it to perceive inane, stupid lines delivered by bad actors. This movie’s **only** redeeming value was turning around and seeing the whole audience wearing those dorky cardboard glasses.

**shimmery** , that was one of the crappiest pieces of celluloid I’ve ever seen. Junky from start to finish with a truly mind-boggling ending. The critics fell all over themselves praising it, but they must have just thought they were watching a Robert Altman film or something. Pure dreck!
