Unconfirmed Titles

Compiled by Gary Palmer

The following titles have all been listed as 2.35:1 or 2.39:1 in a number of sources, though I haven't been able to confirm the intended aspect ratio. Information on any - and all - of these films would be gratefully received:

ABNORMAL SEX CRIMES*
立体透視映画　異常性犯罪史
Japan - 1968 - col and 3-D
D: Kôji Seki

ADVENTURES OF THE POLAR CUBS
[Hokkyoku no Mushika Mishika]
Japan - 1979 - col
D: Chikao Katsui

L’ALTRA FACCIA DEL PECCATO
(aka: The Queer... the Erotic)
Italy - 1969 - col
D: Marcello Avallone
[Screen format promoted as ‘Colorscope’]

ARID LAND
(see: Welikathara)

BAHALA NA
Philippines - 1956 - col
D: Manuel Conde
[One source claims this was the first Filippino film in 'CinemaScope', though contemporary ad-mats make no mention of 'widescreen' at all, choosing instead to ballyhoo the newfangled 'Eastman Color' process. Noted for the record]

A BOY AND A CAMEL
[Ha-Gamal V’Hayeled]
Israel/Japan - 1968 - col
D: Osamu Takahashi

BROKEN PROMISE
USA - 2006 - col
D: Kevin M. White

BUNGALOW
Japan - 1982? - col and 3-D
[Nothing more is known about this obscure 3-D feature, apparently shot in ‘Ultravision’. This may be the same Ultra Vision used on Magnificent Bodyguards (qv), a dual-Techniscope process configured in single-strip/over-under format for theatrical release]

A BUTTERFLY IN THE NIGHT
(see: Mariposa de la Noche, Una)

LA CAMERIERA SEDUCE I VILLEGGIANTI
(aka: The Hostess)
(aka: Porno Hostess in 3-D)
Italy - 1980 - col and 3-D?
D: Aldo Grimaldi
[Though listed in some sources as a single-strip/over-under 3-D production (2.35:1 aspect ratio), I could find no evidence to corroborate such a finding. Online and published sources make no mention of a dimensional process, and the film appears to have been exhibited exclusively in 2-D. As such, Porno Hostess in 3-D may not be a legitimate AKA for this particular entry. In fact, there may be some confusion with Le Porno Hostess in Super 3-D, the Italian release title for the bona fide dimensional film The Stewardesses (qv)]

A CASA ASSASSINADA
(aka: The Murdered House)

MagnaVision
[Credited as 'MagnaVision' on contemporary ad-mats, though I was unable to determine whether this referred to an anamorphic process or 1.85:1 presentations (still a novelty at a time when Filippino movies were predominantly shot in Academy ratio 1.37:1)]

Cinevision
['Cinevision' is cited as the photographic process for this film in "Halliwell's Film Guide", though I'm unable to find another source which corroborates the information, or explains the technical specifications of the process - it may be no wider than 1.85:1. As such, I've relegated this particular entry until the mystery can be resolved one way or the other]
