[Konvas] On vacation ? i watch a Sergei Paradjadov film

[Adam Frey]

Speaking of which, I've been meaning to ask this and keep forgetting, but...

In earlier cinema times, we had Technicolor in the west (both Two-color 
& Three-strip) as well as other somewhat lesser known color film 
techniques. Did the Soviets have/use a similar technology to produce 
color films? What color technology would they have been using that 
caught on?

BTW: Off topic, but I saw a documentary the other day that said the 
Technicolor process was what allowed Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz" to 
have Red shoes, when they actually shot silver shoes in real life (the 
Technicolor process turned them red). Can anyone confirm or deny this? I 
thought they were silver in the book, but that they used red shoes when 
shooting the film.

And Pierre - I wished I was on vacation! But that's not for another 2 
more weeks! (Spain, I'll be there soon!). This summer is kicking my butt 
- between teaching a 5 week summer course (Never, Never, Never do this!) 
and suddenly getting a few clients (and, of course, family & house 
stuff) - I'm swamped.
