Interesting. I've always been impressed by the fact that at least three classic
3D movies were made by men with no depth perception. Andre deToth (House of Wax
and Bounty Hunter) had only one eye, and Herb Strok (Gog) could not see in
depth. Amazingly, de Toth has had a long-term fascination with 3D. I can
remember sitting in on screenings of Spacevision demos in the early '80s with de
Toth, wearing his polaroid glasses over his eye patch and apparently fascinated
by all he saw, or rather DIDN'T see!
