Grandma was in Color Too

Here’s one of the earliest color films you will ever see, over ten years before Wizard of Oz. (Gizmodo)

   What surprises me the most about this is the lighting, soft and beautiful, more like still photographs from the early 80′s, never have I seen movie lighting like this from this era. I would love to know how it was lit.

      They may have records of all that at Kodak, who knows?
