1976 Oxf. Compan. Film 494/2 After the first presentation it [sc. Napoléon] was released in a truncated version from which the triptych sequences had been removed: Gance, disappointed by the poor reception, destroyed much of the original footage, including some of the triptych.
1980 Times 5 Dec. 11/5 The great triptych—Gance called it Polyvision—in no respect falls short... From the breath-catching moment when the screen is suddenly multiplied to reveal a great panorama of the Grand Army on the Alps, Gance's use of the triptych is light years in advance of anything three-projector Cinerama ever achieved.
1980 Times 5 Dec. 11/5 Sometimes the triptych image is a continuous panorama; sometimes it is split into different images. There are superimpositions and mirror images, the whole orchestrated with passion.
