I saw the 3-D version once, in New York in either 1980 or '82. The Eighth Street Playhouse ran a series of classic 3-D films over a couple of weeks: "House of Wax", etc.

Hitch's use of 3-D was more subtle than other directors...he used the process to add more "plains" to the image, to add the extra bit of "roundness" (hope I'm not too confusing here), as opposed to throuwing things in the audience's faces...the scissors being the one (important) exception to this.

I wish that 3-D versions could be transferred to home video, too!
