I think House of Wax was one of the better 3D movies made.
No lots of hokey 3D effects (items being thrown at the audience, etc).
It was merely a film in 3D not 90 minutes of special effects.
Colour films were first made in the 20s, usually shorts.
(In the early 1900s there were hand tinted colour films.)
And some early talkies were not only all talking films but in colour as
well. But colour was very expensive and seldom used.
I actually prefer b/w films over colour. Different shading of scenes, sharper
images, etc.
