Adam- just think if Errol Flynn was in the Technicolor classic "The Pirate" with Gene Kelly? 🤯

"Kiss Me Kate" was also done in 3-D and Technicolor.

The only movie Deanna Durbin did in Technicolor was in 1944 - "Can't Help Singing." Get the DVD and be prepared to be blown away. The color is breathtakingly beautiful.

We’ve never seen that one. Thanks for the recommendation!

Small correction: "Suspiria" was NOT shot in 3-strip Technicolor (confirmed on IIMDB). It was printed in IB Technicolor at the Technicolor plant in Rome on Via Tiburtina, just outside the city. I worked there back in 2004 and spoke to some of the technicians who were around at the time. Nobody shot in 3-strip after about 1955. It's true that Argento's films are brilliant and have an amazing look.

Thanks for the correction, that part is being removed. That’s so interesting that you worked at Technicolor Rome. I’ve read so many not-so-kind stories about them from the 1950s-1970s when they damaged a few Paramount negatives.
