Jeff,

There is a facility that can do Lenticular here. My business associates 
over at Research Video have had some done there over the years. Filmtech is the 
facility.

Regarding the Esther Williams Aqua Spectacle Sept 29, 1956, that was 
supposedly the first Burbank Lenticular color kine use: I just received an email 
about that exact subject this morning from someone who worked the show. As 
soon as he gives the OK I will forward.
