Watch This Color Movie, From Before Movies Were In Color [Vault]

More than a decade before The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind gave color videos wide notoriety, Kodak was conducting Kodachrome tests . The end result: a series vibrant, full color moving portraits bursting out of 1922.

This isn’t the very first color motion picture experiment, any longer than the blockbusters mentioned above the first color movies . Nevertheless it’s a really well-preserved look, that provides texture to a time that too often lives inside the mind’s eye as simple black and white. [ Boing Boing ]
