A few of the experts were muttering in mutinous tones about the Age of 3-D and its ramifications: P:Producer Nunnally (The Senator Was Indiscreet) Johnson, on writing stories for a wide screen: "Just sit down at the typewriter. Only, from now on, put the paper in sideways."

P: British Producer Sir Michael (The Man in the White Suit) Balcon: "It bores the pants off me to be worrying about whether I'm seeing a picture out of my left eye or my right."

P:Director George (Shane) Stevens: "[Wide-screen] is a process ideally suited for high-school commencement photographs."

P: Screenwriter Richard (Titanic) Breen: "For the moment it is safe to say that Hamlet [in 3-D] is out of the question unless it can be staged on a roller coaster."P: London Movie Critic Dilys Powell, reviewing Man in the Dark (TIME, April 20): "If I must be placed in the position of a firing-squad victim ... I want my eyes bandaged."
