Roy Roberts – Doyle's Space

House of Wax (1953)

UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU’VE SEEN BEFORE!

I watched the 1953 House of Wax, originally called The Wax Works, which was Warner Bros.’ answer to the surprise 3-D hit Bwana Devil^[1], on Svengoolie. They contracted Julian and Milton Gunzburg’s Natural Vision 3-D system¹, the same one used for Bwana Devil², and filmed a remake of their thriller Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), based on Charles S. Belden’s three-act play The Wax Works. The director André de Toth (May 15, 1913 – October 27, 2002) was blind in one eye and couldn’t see the 3D results.

Bewitched – Doyle’s Space: SitCom Hall of Fame

The main setting for most episodes is the Stephenses’ home at 1164 Morning Glory Circle, in an upper-middle-class suburban neighborhood, either in Westport, Connecticut, or Patterson, New York, as indicated by conflicting information presented throughout the series. Many scenes also take place at the fictional Madison Avenue advertising agency McMann and Tate, where Darrin works.

“Bewitched” is a classic American sitcom that aired from September 17, 1964, to March 25, 1972, on ABC. The show was created by Sol Saks and became one of the most beloved and iconic series of its time, known for its humor, charm, and unique premise that blended everyday suburban life with magic and fantasy. “Bewitched” was produced by Screen Gems, the television arm of Columbia Pictures.
