(refering to the Wizard of Oz)

And that was released 67 years ago!

The Wizzard of Oz was NOT shot on color film. It was shot using
technicolor
which was a monochrome process. There films were shot simultaneously, one
with a red, one with a green and one with a blue filter. They were
combined
in printing to give the normal color appearence.

Listen up, smart ass - TECHNICOLOR is a COLOR process. They used three
special monochrome films (2 panchromatic, 1 orthochromatic) to record the
Red, Blue, and Green records, which were combined in printing to give a full
color image. Note that there were only TWO filters, Magenta and Green, not
three as you stated in your post (see technical diagrams at website below).
The insulting tone of your post implies that "The Wizard of Oz" (note how I
spelled that correctly) was not color, when in fact, it simply wasn't shot
with monopack color film. Stop confusing folks with your semantic bull****
and drop the attitude.

Color film was first produced as Kodachrome in 1935. I'm not sure when
color negative film was first produced, but it was general use in the
late '50s or early '60s.

Let's see if we can fill in some blanks here... According to "A Half
Century of Color" by Louis Walton Sipley, 1951, Macmillan Co. ...
Kodachrome first came out as 16mm motion picture film in 1935. In spring of
1936, it came out in 8mm movie film. In Aug. 1936, it was introduced in 35mm
and 828 formats. Color film was produced MUCH earlier than Kodachrome, as
the Lumiere brothers invented Autochrome film in 1903, and were selling it
in 1907!!!!

Go here to see what Autochromes look like:

Color negative film was introduced in 1941-2 with Kodacolor (George Eastman
House says 1941, Eastman Kodak says 1942 for this film).
