I hope 3 color has not died out altogether. (I wouldn't fade if the original Sep negs were kept which I don't think they ever were. A better analogy to Kodachrome might be Dye seps or that printing process done in France. I did see that famous Regee (John Marley?) film which was shot in Kodachrome (16) ((Possibly 8!!!)) which might have been its original size. Was pastelish gaudy. Was not keeping it straight if Technicolor means 3 color or the newer, I guess it means the newer. What was 3 color called? Mark Rabiner
