You Mean They HAD Color Back Then?
-
This is just something I find fascinating, and it's my column, so bear with me as I marvel at long-lost color movie film footage from 1922, It's not colorized, it's actual color, tests of early Kodachrome made in New Jersey with some silent film stars of the age years before Technicolor. The reason this kind of stuff fascinates me is that I always felt that there's a dividing line around when I was born, where everything that happened before that was in black-and-white and everything after that in color. There was always a disconnect in seeing movies and TV from my earliest years in black-and-white when my memories are, of course, in color. I guess I'm of the age where what came before me seems REALLY old, because of that color-B&W divide, and I wonder whether adults born in, say, 1990 have the same feeling looking at things from the '70s as I do looking at things from the '50s.
