If I remember correctly, Abel Gance's NAPOLEON had scenes which were split into three parts representing the French flag. -----Original Message----- From: Danielle Glassmeyer [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 7:35 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: split-screen effect Glen or Glenda? (1953) Only the split is horizontal...and I don't think the effect is the same.

Also, have any scholars written specifically on this effect?
