Trivia:

In October 1982, this film was chosen by the ITV network in the United Kingdom as the first film to be given a television screening in 3-D. Glasses were distributed (free) with that week's TV Times magazine and were also available in selected electrical stores (at a small charge). While the screening was reasonably successful, the experiment was not repeated.

Featured in Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story (2007)

Routine colonial America fare.

You'll have to dodge those arrows, spears and tomahawks, in this otherwise routine period piece, originaly filmed in 3D.
