Harry Mimmo (1953)
Harry Mimmo was brought to Columbia for a one picture deal after he was spotted on television. The resulting film, DOWN THE HATCH, was the third and final two-reeler to be shot in the 3D process.
In recent years, the short has been shown at the 3D Film World Expo along with several other 3D cartoons, features and shorts (including 3D prints of The 3 Stooges comedies SPOOKS and PARDON MY BACKFIRE).
