...to see the 3-D version in a movie theater, take it.
The scissors made everyone jump out of their seats. It was fun.

Few realize it was originally filmed for 3-D.

  But it was more from pressure from his studio. Hich was not warm for it.

    Partly what makes it a good 3-D film is that it's not an over-the-top 3-D film; and anyway, clearly he filmed it to stand as a good film, not as a film dependent on 3-D gimmickry. The scissor scene is impactful for reasons that the 3-D steps in to exploit, not because of the 3-D per se. Indeed, the 3-D distracts from the inherent good-sense behind that scene, encouraging the assumption that it was designed for the medium, which I don't think it was. I think audiences go to theaters to see Dial M in 3-D expecting a campy experience, and instead get something surprisingly artful and restrained. Unlike the 3-D preview of the Rock Hudson western before the film. That was all camp.
    And then there's 3-D porn. Was tempted once, but my friends and I balked.

      I've seen at least one other 3-D film---"House of Wax"????---that was way over the top.
      3-D porn? Could be fun. Once. Just like all porn.

        That's the only other one I've seen. Film Forum? I think they have a 3-D Three Stooges coming up. Something about pelting the audience with tools.

        A musical. I vaguely remember Ann Miller dancing and shaking something like a boa toward the audience, which, of course, made everyone duck. Can't remember the name. I'll have to look it up. Oh wait! "Kiss Me Kate"!

        I belive that the John Wayne feature "Hondo" was also shot in 3D.

        ...with some Frankensteinish guy, and lots of bats..., and when they started flying, it was funny to look to some people in the theatre moving their arms to keep them away!
        That film was shitty, but we had some fun...
