Dial M for Murder
Alfred Hitchcock's only 3-D film stars the 24-year-old Grace Kelly as a woman targeted for murder by her husband (Ray Milland) and took its tense tale from a Broadway hit. The fullest stereoscopic effect is reserved for two ominous objects, a room key shown in close-up and a pair of shiny scissors. ''A murder without gleaming scissors,'' Hitch explained later, ''is like asparagus without the hollandaise sauce tasteless.'' Geoff Boucher
