For my review of the excellent Strangers on a Train goto the Blu-Ray edition ,if ,like me ,you already own these films on DVD your ok to stay with them unless you have a 3D Blu-Ray and a 3D TV ,then this is a must buy.
This set is all about 3D dial M ,which Hitch described as a gimmick and hes right about that. But if like me you've always wondered what it would be like to see in 3D here goes, The film starts with the credits, somewhere between the screen and you , then you quickly see why there's a foreground object as well as middle and background because without it the 3D doesn't really work , as when he cuts to the 'God's eye view' until the light fitting completes the trick again when the camera moves behind it. The two key scenes that are totally in three dimensions are the rape/murder and when the key is presented to the audience . The middle too end of the film have very little to make full use of the novelty and it tends to revert to a 2D like picture.
Having watched this as my first 3D film i did get a bit bored with the glasses and it isn't as much fun too watch as the 2D version where you can enjoy the show without being distracted every now and then , but thats more a person too person preference .
As with all Hitchcock films, re-watching is rewarded and new things are observed that escaped your attention before, for me it was when Margo and Mark go to the Theater together without Tony ,so he can bring his plan into operation. After a long gap in the play ,taken up with plot, the phone rings and its Margo telling Tony how good the play is ect. but she ends the call by saying there's the bell , so it must have been the intermission in the play when she called, but we hear nothing on the soundtrack ,but tony hears everything when shes being attacked later over the phone, then she hangs up , That can only mean one of two things , when she said bell she might have meant the lights were flashing for the second act or they never went to the theater at all , don't forget Mark and Margo are lovers so did they just go to his hotel instead? we'll never know but its a juicy little wink too the audience that their up to no good.
