Colour on the Thames

1935-08-05

This movie is a well-estimated showpiece for Gasparcolor, one of several competing color systems for movies that tried for pieces of the market following the success of Technicolor. Developed by Bela Gaspar, it was, like Technicolor, a subtractive system and while it was used a bit in the mid-thirties for a few short subjects, it never really caught on.
