To make a Technicolor print, the three gel prints are soaked in dye of a complementary color, then pressed one at a time in contact with a blank film strip. It works sort of like silk screening, where you run different screens with different colors over the same piece of cloth until the fill color image is imprinted. The older TC Process 3 only used two colors, red and turquoise green, so it could not reproduce full color. That is why you see so much red and green scenery in P3 films.
I love you Eddie!!!What a fantastic performer,ageless,great lyrics and music,truly a great vehicle for one Izzy Ischiwitz.Time never vanquishes his great showmanship!!!!
"Process 4" is the stunning, brilliant full color Technicolor process that we know from great films like "Wizard". The P4 camera used three strips of B&W film, one with a red, green, and blue filter. The red, green, and blue-filtered films were developed, then soaked in a chemical bath with a gel substance that stuck to the dark areas of the film. The result was a filmstrip kind of like a rubber stamp, with thicker gel on the darker parts of the film and thinner gel on the lighter areas.
This is right up there with Sofie Tucker's "I got a cross-eyed papa, but he looks straight to me." There’s no subtext in this Eddie Cantor song: it's right on the surface!
part of what makes it such a touching moment in the film is that Eddie's malady is a common issue. the repeated notes in the song don't matter. the two of them easily make up for it. the expression is such that it seems Eddie's truly experienced the ordeal.

@@marvinsurowitz8626 it's hard to take for me too. I'm mixed race, brown skin. But i try thinking that he didn't had bad intentions doing it. Unfortunately that was a long time tradition in american musical theathre and beginner actors/singers would just see it as a normal part of it. But i really wish he never did it, he could have been more known nowadays too
I don't know if it would be the same. When these early films were made, it was using a different process (process 3) than when they made the Wizard of Oz (process 4). I tried reading about the process and got mostly confused, but I know it involves red and green filters on black and white film and gelatin and I get lost. Who knows?
I'm an expert on two color processes. In fact I reproduced the Kinemacolor process when I was studying film production as an under grad in college. The results were astounding ! All two color processes were a compromise of three color processes - combining red and green into a red/orange filter and green and blue into a blue/green filter which were used to photograph onto black and white film. Look at the color sequences in Ben Hur (1925). The prominent colors are red/orange and blue/green.
Since the film is adapted rather loosely from the stage musical Whoopee, I'm guessing that this is a Kahn & Donaldson song - but old Gus didn't usually serve us this many clever rhymes!
these early Technicolor pieces are just eye candy.....imagine if they actually "restored" them in the same way Oz was just restored -bet the detail would be really impressive......unfortunately, probably not enough interest to spend the millions to do it....
I just saw this movie yesterday. It is just wonderful and very funny most of the time (the half-indian kinda ruined it for me). All in all, a must see.
I loved seeing the subtle reactions of the girl to his words.
Wow! Eddie Cantor was just amazing. His voice, face and gestures are so wonderfully expressive.
Very clever lyrics - delivered by a man who knew about timing
What a handsome man with an enthralling voice included
I watch Eddie Cantor when I'm feeling sad.
Good choice!
I listen to his music when I need to get a little happy
Eddie Cantor = INSANELY CUTE.
He's so animated and funny, even when singing a sad song. I was born 100 years too late ;-)
One of my favorite singers! He's so cute! Color becomes him.

No ! Green scenery is not well reproduced. It actually comes out as a sort of a grey-blue-green.

Not quite correct.

"Boardwalk Empire" has given me a new perspective of the 1920s.
I'm glad it did

Love his get-up :P is that a beret or an Irish flatcap?

Anyone know who composed this tune?
Does anyone know what year this film was made?
Terry Trepper 1930
