Price made an excellent product spokesman. Have you ever seen the 15 minute promotional film he made for Sears, touting a line of original paintings and prints
from such artists as Rembrandt and Picasso? He chose them all himself and put together a real nice marketing campaign that made fine art available to regular
people.

My wife actually bought me one of these cameras. I never used it and I`m guessing the company went bankrupt in less then a year. I suppose the camera is in the
storage locker. I have no interest in photography and found it an odd choice of a gift. I`m guessing my wife got talked into buying it by a spokesman at
whatever store she found it in. I bet they must have been expensive and I probably would have been ticked off at what she paid for it.

I had one. They actually made for pretty nice lenticular prints.

I get the vibe that Price really wasn't interested in hawking 3-D cameras in his 80s (he seems irritated throughout the show). When HOUSE OF WAX came out,
the Stereo Realist company also had him and some of the other cast in their advertisements, but in reality, Price had no interest in stereo photography.
Those lenticulars, when done right, are really something. The Paul Hesse studio lenticulars from the '50s are possibly some of the most impressive autostereoscopic photos I've ever seen.

I remember commercials with Vincent Price hawking Cremettes macaroni sometime in the late 1960s. At the time I thought he was an unusual choice to sell
noodles.
