detailed historical analysis of the process, 8 January 2005
Author:
didi-5 from United Kingdom
Now available on DVD, this documentary looks at the ups and downs of
Technicolor and the importance of film milestones such as 'Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs'; 'Becky Sharp'; 'The Black Pirate'; and 'Gone
With The Wind'. It shows how colour in films grew from experiments in
two-strip and three-strip bits to full-length mistakes, travelogues and
total triumphs.
It makes interesting points about the fear of actresses that colour
would remove their mystique (until Dietrich and 'The Garden of Allah'
that is); about the constant interference of Natalie Kalmus ('creative
consultant' on all Technicolor films); and about the eventual
acceptance of the process as industry standard worldwide. The examples
shown prove that the colour palette available to films in their heyday
enhanced the 'golden age' - later films in Eastmancolor and the like
look washed-out in comparison.
