Product Description
Product Description
A never-before seen, eye-popping collection of "glamour" photographs of Hollywood starlets from the 1940s through the 1970s, captured (in 3D and in the nude) by silent film star and photographer Harold Lloyd. Harold Lloyd shot more than 300,000 photographs using a stereoscopic (3D) camera. Many of the photos were of young women who dreamed of making it big in Hollywood, including Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, Dixie Evans and Tura Satana. Here, published for the first time in a book, are 200 of the most lavish, luscious and ludicrous pictures of Hollywood nudes posed against some of the most dramatic and creative backgrounds imaginable.

We bought this book for a bit of a laugh really, but it's actually very interesting and tends to have people browsing for ages with the 3D glasses on - men and women alike.
Some of the pictures take a few looks to "get" the 3D but on the whole it's excellent.
If you watched Harold Lloyd's rather innocent slap-stick shows on TV it's quite odd to see pictures of naked women he took in 3D!
The pictures are all very tasteful nudes, bare breasts and bottoms only - presented in an artistic way. Nothing gratuitous or sordid.
The picture quality is excellent and Harold obvious took this seriously.
Definitely worth a look if you like nude women, art, photography and 3D pictures (probably covers a lot of people).

Use different 3-D glasses
22 July 2006
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Many of the reviews here complain that the anaglyph conversions are misaligned. This is somewhat true of a few pictures. The real problem is that the 3-D glasses provided with the book are just plain terrible and the images suffer considerable 'bleed-through.' Use standard red/cyan 3D glasses and most of the pictures are magnificent.

Delusion!
3 Dec 2004
Format:Hardcover
Harold Lloyd was a good 3D photographer and managed the 3D very well, only too well I cannot say the same on whom prepared the photos for the book.
I worked several years using stereo photos, I take stereo photos for hobby and I must say that the 3D photos in the book are bad formed and printed.
Often they are misalligned and the colours of the glasses "lens" don't match with the printed colours.
You may try to use green-red glasses, or perhaps it should be better if the two stereo photos were printed side by side (as in the "3D-Hollywood") and not so badly merged as in this book.

Yes, some of the 3-D effects might have been done better... but this book has some great pictures, 3D and non-3D, very nicely reproduced, with good content by his granddaughter about Harold Lloyd (at one point one of America's most popular and successful silent screen actors). She writes about his lavish estate, and his obsesson with photography of all types (scenic, travel and nudes). I thought it was fascinating. And he was more than a rich actor who snapped a few (thousand) pictures. These are excellent photographs, the models are pretty, shot with care and a sense of story and playfulness. If you are a pin-up fan you will certainly enjoy this book.
