I think the slower pace of these older films is a better showcase for 3D and allows the viewer more time to soak up the 3D depth of each scene.

Bob Furmanek, formerly president of the 3D Film Preservation Fund (now the 3D Film Archive), which restored the theatrical print of Hondo, now hangs out regularly on the Home Theater Forum, where he's the reigning expert on "Golden Age 3D".
As he puts it:

We have a real chicken and egg situation with the Golden Age titles. I've had plenty of people tell me they will buy a 3-D Blu-ray set-up when some older titles are available, but the copyright holders are reluctant to proceed and spend money because the numbers are so low.
I can tell you from the work I'm doing on our titles; mastering and re-aligning in HD for dual-strip 35mm 3-D material is not cheap!
