Glorious Technicolor
This documentary is included on The Adventures of Robin Hood DVD. It's quite well done and should be interesting for anyone with a general interest in film history or technical film history. When you realize how elaborate, cumbersome, and expensive it was to utilize Technicolor, it's no wonder that it took so long for color movies to catch on and then for other type of color processes to become used more often. But also when you realize how much more brilliant the colors of Technicolor were compared to any kind of new color development process for decades it's surprising. And how wonderful that the process also preserves so much better, almost perfectly apparently. This documentary will give you the details along with some interesting (although sometimes a bit pretentious) comments by famous cinematographers.
Rating: 9/10
