In the new Technicolor print at Lincoln Center, the contrast between his greasepaint Indian skin and blazing blue eyes almost looks like a special effect.

Last weekend I said, Let's do it, and we got my old Technicolor print of "Vertigo."

The original negative of On With the Show is now lost and no Technicolor prints have survived, only prints in black-and-white.

But at a recent press screening, a "control" sample of an early Technicolor print appeared considerably more orange than the cooler tones of the new release.

To create Technicolor prints, a clear 35mm film reel was run into a special dye transfer machine.

A 35mm cemented bi-pack Technicolor print survived until the 1960s in the hands of Irvin Willat, who had directed the picture.

Original Technicolor prints that survived into the 1950s were often used to make black-and-white prints for television and simply discarded thereafter.

This allowed Technicolor prints to be struck from a single camera negative exposed in a standard camera.

Because the dye transfer process used stable acid dyes, Technicolor prints are considered of archival quality.

No complete Technicolor prints survive.
