The Power of Love is a 1922 Amercian Gangster Romance 3D film directed by Nat G. Deverich and Harry K. Fairall. The film was the very first 3D presentation to be shown in front of a live audience, and premiered at the Ambassador's Hotel Theater in Los Angeles on September 27, 1922.

Plot Because of his financial trouble, Don Almeda (Noah Beery) promises his daughter, Maria (Barbara Bedford), to Don Alvarez (Albert Prisco). But Maria does not love Don Alvarez, and, in fact, she falls in love with Terry O'Neil (Elliott Sparling), a stranger who has been wounded by robbers associated with Alvarez. O'Neil takes Alvarez's place at a masked ball. Alvarez, in turn, robs the old Padre (John Herdman) of some pearls and stabs him to deal with O'Neil's knife. He then accuses O'Neil of the murder and tries to shoot him, but wounds Maria instead, because she has thrown herself in front of him. Maria recovers, and, after proving that Alvarez is a thief and a killer, weds O'Neil.

The film used a dual projector system to create different colored images on the screen which the viewers viewed via their stereoscopic anaglyph 3D glasses

The film was presumed lost after a showing in New York City, New York.
