When CinemaScope was introduced in 1953, Fox promoted the idea that it could be seen ‘without glasses’ (a reference to the fact that there were many 3-D films in release that needed patrons to goggle up). By the time “The Robe” reached Newcastle, Fox’s claim had been modified, with addition of the word ‘special’.

When I was 11 in 1953, I went to see “The Robe” with my parents, and I expected to see the actual 3-D effect without glasses. I had already seen many 3-D films with glasses. I immediately knew this was not the case, but nonetheless I liked the super wide screen.
