1958  
 
3DSobalvany3D was released in non-Hungarian markets as 3DPillar of Salt3D. There is nothing Biblical about the story, however, which revolves around a dedicated young doctor. The trouble is that the doctor is 3Dtoo3D dedicated, and thus blind to the sociopolitical upheavals all around him. Only when it is nearly too late does our hero come to realize that he must take a stand in 3Dthis3D world, and not bury himself exclusively in the world of medicine. Though a popular entry in the 1958 Karlovy Vary Film Festival, 3DSobalvany3D wasn't a likely candidate for US showings, in the light of recent political tensions between America and the Communist Hungarian government. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
