The Glass Web 3-D

I am 100% pleased with this < The Glass Web 3-D > disc.3D discs, especially those restored by the 3D Film Archive, have been getting better and better and this is one of the best I have seen.The disc comes with the standard (electronic) 3D version (which requires a 3D television or a 3D-capable projector along with electronic 3D glasses), a 2D version (playable on any television set) PLUS an anaglyph (Red/Cyan) version, also playable on any television set and viewable in full 3D.The disc (along with others featuring anaglyph versions) comes packed with only one pair of glasses. I think this is rather mean: I'm sure very few people watch movies alone but fortunately Amazon offers an inexpensive solution: < 50 Pairs - Flat- 3D Glasses Red and Cyan White Frame Anaglyph Cardboard (Set of 50) > which currently sell for only $9.59. These are made of cardboard but are of very high quality (I bought a set of these some months ago) and each of them can be used and re-used many times (I have done this - we're still using our first two!).With my electronic 3D glasses I was able to see NO "ghosting," a flaw seen on some older 3D discs (though not many recently-released ones) and, with the anaglyph glasses, I saw only a couple of these "ghosts."Well, that takes care of the technical details. Now - how is the movie?It's a terrific "noir" film. If you are a fan of this genre (and even if you are not) I think that you'll be intrigued by this picture. This film is an excellent example of what life was like in this country and what television was like at mid-century (the 20th century). The story is superb and the acting (with excellent actors and actresses - Edward G. Robinson, John Forsythe, and especially Kathleen Hughes as well as all the rest - who are all of the highest caliber) is also superb. The direction is first-rate. The tension is palpable. Plus you'll really get a kick out of the reproduction of cigarette commercials (ubiquitous in the early television days, they were banned in 1970)!My wife and I loved this film. We received it on March 25, 2025 (the day it was released) and we have watched it twice so far. Obviously we are enamored with it and I am sure that you will be too.There is an excellent (and I mean EXCELLENT) commentary track by Jason A. Ney and 3-D Experts Mike Ballew and Greg Kintz, and this track includes a clip of an interview by Alan K. Rode with Kathleen Hughes, the only surviving cast member (and a true delight to hear: she mentions how she was asked to help test the 3D camera for Universal; she says she was picked because "... I was very 3-dimensional ..." What a delightful lady! That quip is almost worth the whole price of the disc!)Truly, I can say nothing more than - BUY THIS DISC!!! I'm positive that it will become one of the treasures of your collection. And remember - YOU DO NOT NEED A 3D TELEVISION OR PROJECTOR to watch this film in 3D (and its superb 3D cinematography is something everyone really needs to see). Even in 2D it's a very good movie and the commentary track is one of the best.EXTREMELY AND URGENTLY RECOMMENDED.Thank you for reading this.Lawrence H. Bulk

The 3-D Archive did it again: Saved an almost forgotten 2D stereoscopic gem, together with Kino Lorber.Director JACK ARNOLD gets the most out of the spatial possibilities. I dare say, it's partially more impressive than his Creature from the Black Lagoon.The movie is on the disc in 2D, Real 3D for 3D displays, and also anaglyph 3D, for standard 2D displays. One pair of red/cyan glasses is included.I had high expectations towards this release, they've all been met. Absolutely recommended to every film fan!

Typical 1950's noir with about average plot. Good acting, and cinemaphotography. Excellent video quality. Awesome 3D on my Sony Bravia with Sony Blu-ray 3D player.

This is one of the 3D movies made in the 1950s back when 3D was a big deal. The 3D is well done but you have to remember that it was shot in 3D and not converted to 3D like so many modern movies have been. This means that there are a few places where the 3D is less than perfect. OK, pretty bad.Story wise, it's a straightforward example of film noir with a good cast and a decent scrip. If you like 3D, it's a must have. If you like film noir, you'll be happy with this minor example of the genre.

Fun movie with some great 3D pop outs. Look for the scene where 2 drunk girls mistake John Forsythe for Charlie!

Top notch 3D that has plenty of depth and dimension from start to finish in The Glass Web, a really classic thriller film brilliantly restored by the 3-D Archive. A must-buy for any 3D collector of 3D Film History.

Excellent work from the 3D Film Archive. Incredible restoration of a first rate rate noir mystery featuring a superb performance by the legendary Edward G. Robinson. First rate direction by Jack Arnold who directed 3 other Golden Age 3D movies. I think he holds the record.

Incredible restoration by the 3-D Film Archive!! Highly recommended purchase to anyone with a projector, 3DTV, or VR headset (use the 4XVR app to play the movie).
