most 50s 3D was with polarized glasses. polarized glass (now plastic) has been around for a long time. i would make a schoolyard joke about it at this time if the board hadn't changed so much.

film is a bitch to work with, and tapes can be a pain too. we sold our deck last year.

film still looks beautiful if you can afford it. you can shoot/print in film and work in digital intermediates-- film vs video is only a choice of input/output.
