Interesting concept of using color management for the home of this era. Unfort,why the green reproduction in this film is that the Eastman color dyes in the age of this film have taken its toll in true color reproduction (one of the disadvantages of Eastman against the Technicolor dye-transfer process - the duration of keeping the colors true when age becomes a factor).

★★ · Add yellow to red to make... green! · Spuzz · 2003-04-03

In this very odd film, the theme of color is attempted to be explained, yet the condition of the film, as you can tell by the movie scenes, are all green. Making every point seem moot as every color combined with every color will make... green.
