Most arresting of all, though, is Gance's Triptych Polyvision at the end of the film. Images appear on two more screens and an enormous panorama is scanned. The pictures break up and reconstitute. In a frenzy the film recapitulates and progresses...
Royalty should play royalty, even in a pageant as pedestrian as this. Writer-Director Steven Gethers sketches a triptych of scenes from the life of young Jacqueline ("Not Jackie," as she firmly cautions). At first she is a solemn young equestrian, a pawn in her parents' grim power struggle for her love. Later, she is a budding journalist and the apple of Senator Jack Kennedy's roving eye. The film climaxes with the White House years, when she plays Guinevere in a contentious Camelot, acting as Jack's shy, willful, loving wife and then as his elegant...
...Paris-Paris," which fills a floor of the Pompidou Center in Paris until Nov. 2, is-so to speak-the fourth panel of a triptych. When "le Pompidoglio" opened in 1977, it started a series of exhibitions meant to show, in detail, how the capital cities of modernism had reacted to one another in our century.

Gordon divides The Company of Women into a triptych.

This is the company of women, secular nuns who kneel before their earthly Savior, whom they depend on for comfort, for succor, for sweetness, for confession. They are prisoners of the vision of God and the light of heaven. They are bound by a hunger for the sacred which Cyprian provides with effusion and fanatical authority...
...most vivid element in Brownlow's reconstruction is a concluding 18-minute triptych in which three well-synchronized images are simultaneously projected on a suddenly expanded screen, as Napoleon is preparing to lead his army into Italy and the campaign that made him a world figure. By another name, this is Cinerama, though it is 30 years ahead of that gimmick's invention. It is also crudely stirring, and just about as big a finish as any movie has ever...
