| Both of these films were shot in 3D -- MGMs only 3D musical and Hitchcock's only foray into 3D. They were shot toward the end of the 3D craze and theaters had the option to screen in 2D or 3D. My understanding is that Dial M was mostly screened in 2D and, while the 3D version of Kate outgrossed its 2D version, Radio City Music Hall opted for flat. I've seen Kate in 3D several times and I've always thought, if you saw this in 2D you would wonder if the director had some subliminal violent streak as you have musical numbers ending with players throwing things at the camera or kicking a leg in your face! I'm a fan of both these films, expecially in 3D (although Murder really only has one scene where 3D is remotely justified). |
