I remember so wanting to watch the 3-D versions of those older films that turned up in syndication, when you had to buy the glasses at 7-11 like it was mentioned earlier. But the nearest 7-11 was an hour's drive away, so no local stores had them, and my parents said there was no way they were driving that far for a pair of cheap 3-D glasses so I could watch some old movies. Always felt I missed out somehow. I can remember the hosts explaining how to adjust the color contrast to see the film properly. Still a little disappointed.

Regarding "Dial M for Murder", I've heard Roger Ebert on several occasions explain that without 3-D, the movie is a bland generic thriller barely worthy of Hitchcock, but with 3-D it was one of his better films since Hitchcock made 3-D so necessary to fully enjoying the film.

Ebert may be right about "Dial M" in that sense.  Hitchcock was so totally into whatever tech advances were around at the time -- always "first on the block" with improved sound techniques, etc.  Were he alive today, he'd have been the first to do an all-CGI character, for good or ill.
I remember the menace of the iron-spiked fences in the film too, that didn't really do anything but BE there & add to an air of 3-D tension.  I mean, they could poke your eye out!
However, I think "Dial M" works as a "flat" film, too.  I think probably Hitchcock's weakest film was "The Wrong Man", because it just ends so abruptly, with very little resolution/climax.
