P3D Re: Run for Cover

I would bet the film was being exhibited from a single print
carrying both images. The stray reflections are an artifact of some of
the prism/mirror projection devices used to superimpose the images
on the screen.

Your description makes it sound as if this film was printed using
an under-and-over system.

I say "House of Wax" on a side-by-side print in the '70s. In that
case the spillover images were on each side of the screen.

Seems to me, if the problem can't be solved in the design and
manufacture
of the prism/mirror box, the projectionist could solve it by tacking up
some
barn doors around the projection port--if he cared.
