Criterion Theatre 1514 Broadway, New York, NY - 3D Presentation.

The original 1953 film version of I,The Jury was released on August 14, 1953, and was shot using the

Dunning 3D process.

Description - The 3D ranks among the most natural implementations of the process in all of Golden Age 3D cinema.

Alton has provided a very early pop-out as the murdered man’s hand reaches through the screen toward the audience during the credit sequence, but there are also a gun, a rifle, and the handle of a back scratcher that protrude from the frame. There’s also one brilliant set-up where Mike Hammer himself seems to be sitting outside the frame as the camera looks beyond him back at an array of furniture and people extending into the rear of the frame.

Depth throughout is masterfully achieved (the use of stereopticon glasses in one scene with the twins is also quite a clever in-house joke for 3D viewers).
