Technicolor completely changed moviemaking in the 1930s. Without Technicolor, Oz would have looked a lot like Kansas. “A horse of a different color? I don’t get it!” Imagine the disappointment of doll collectors everywhere to see Scarlett wearing a dress that is some shade of grey instead of a piercing green velvet curtain? Yes, Technicolor greatly impacted the way we see movies. Scott Higgins’ new book, “Harnessing the Technicolor Rainbow”, captures that history with a comprehensive study. Higgins covers the challenges cinematographers and production crews faced in transitioning from black and white practices to the demands of Technicolor. This in-depth book is a must read for any film enthusiast.
