Oboler eyes new 3-D project after Bwana Devil
Arch Oboler, creator of Bwana Devil, defends 3-D cinema amid mixed reviews and tech issues. He recalls lions failing to roar in his jungle and claims profit from the film while planning Spear in the Sand with a new projector. He argues improved depth and color glasses will revive 3-D and vows more films, despite past pan. Las Vegas is set as a filming backdrop for Rosalind Russell’s The Girl Rush and MGM’s Week End at Las Vegas with a grand hotel plot.
