An oddly charming test of early color film.
This clip is a very early, full-color Kodachrome film made by Kodak in 1922 to test new film stock and color processing. It is a lovely little four-and-a-half minutes of pretty actresses gesturing for the camera. The color and lighting are exquisite—all warm reds with flattering highlights—making it a purely enjoyable thing to watch.

That is exquisite. Amazing that it's raw footage from 1922 on a beta of Kodachrome.
Damn you Telecine color correction!

Sorry but it's a fake. "Napoleon Dynamite" wasn't even born until the eighties.

He appears halfway through the film. I just guessed his age. I wasn't too far off, but I apologize for my lazy research.

I don't know. That could explain a few things now that I think about it.
Mental patient, huh? Damn it. Never crossed MY FUCKIN MIND!!

I've seen unimaginable debauchery in healthy cultures indulging their animal as regular exercise. Not in a long while, though.
