Technicolor is truly the stuff that dreams are made on. “My first memories of movies are in Technicolor,” Martin Scorsese said. “Duel in the Sun was the first picture I ever saw, and it's never left me—reds, blues, greens, yellows, deep blacks, lustrous golds. There doesn't appear to be any blending of color in that picture—everything is primary, and everything is alive. It may be garish, it's certainly unreal, and it's far from subtle, but it's alive. Alive…. To me, that's Technicolor.”
