@vanstanwyck.bsky.socialI really like two-strip Technicolor. It has the sleek graphic impact of Art Deco lithography. Just because it's not realistic doesn't mean it's not a cool artistic medium on its own terms. BEN.
@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialThank you for answering the question I had before I had to ask it! 😂 #KingOfJazz #TCMParty
@mrsdewinter.bsky.socialThis movie is so luscious, it looks hand-painted. #KingOfJazz #TCMParty
As a heads-up with #KingOfJazz, this is one of those movies that irrevocably lost footage in the process of recuts for reissues and such, so periodically still images and audio for reconstructive purposes will turn up #TCMParty
@chrisperkins94.bsky.socialWow, that's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit! He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Disney lost the ownership of the character and he was sold to Universal Pictures, hence his appearance in #KingOfJazz. #TCMParty
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cameo in that animated segment; some of this animation was reused for standalone Universal Oswald shorts later, and they appear as bonus content on the Criterion Collection disc of #KingOfJazz #TCMParty
Nothing looks quite like 2-strip Technicolor, even as orange/teal contrast has been used for effect by so many filmmakers since #KingOfJazz #TCMParty
Yeah, warning us ahead of time how #KingOfJazz is not about jazz as we know it today is pretty good thinking #TCMParty
@quarrygirlri.bsky.socialI always find these very early musical revues fascinating. Don't think I've seen this one yet. #TCMParty #KingOfJazz
