Glorious Technicolor and Stereophonic Sound
Film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum offers his ten favorite offbeat musicals (via Something Old, Nothing New). Thanks to his list, I put Red Garters on my Netflix queue and will have another opportunity to marvel at the underrated comic appeal of Jack Carson. And it’s nice to see some love for That’s Entertainment! III, the ignored stepchild of that filmic trilogy.
I was digging through some old magazines last night, and found one from early 1939 that had a feature article on “How Technicolor Works”. Fun stuff.
