The Maze, the atmospheric 1953 horror film presented in 3-D, is directed by William Cameron Menzies (Things to Come) and stars Richard Carlson (The Magnetic Monster).

Carlso is Scotsman Gerald MacTeam, who abruptly breaks off his engagement to pretty Kitty Murray (Veronica Hurst) after receiving word of his uncle’s death and inheriting a mysterious castle in the Scottish Highlands. Kitty refuses to accept the broken engagement and travels with her aunt (Katherine Emery) to the castle. When they arrive, they discover that Gerald has suddenly aged and his manner has changed significantly. After a series of mysterious events occur in both the castle and the hedge maze outside, they invite a group of friends, including a doctor, to the castle, hoping they can help Gerald with whatever ails him.

Filmmaker Menzies was known for his very dimensional style, focusing many shots in layers. He peaks with The Maze, which was to be his final film as production designer and director.
