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.
