Well worth watching at YouTube: YouTube - Kodak 1922 Kodachrome Film Test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_RTnd3Smy8&feature=player_embedded)

Info on the film processes, etc at: Kodak: A Thousand Words - Color Motion Pictures - The Earliest Days: 1922 (http://1000words.kodak.com/post/?ID=2982503)

Blacks are a little too crushed for my liking. :-P

It would be projection contrast, which causes problems during telecine, even with the modern projection stocks.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting. I wondered about the women, who are probably long gone by now, but the blog post fills this in nicely. A fantastic glimpse of the past and probably the most interesting test clip on youtube.
