The Earliest Color Motion Picture Film You Will Ever See circa 1922
Back in 1922 in Rochester, NY, the home of Eastman Kodak, the company ad already developed and was testing color film. These are some of those earliest test films available today. It is amazing to see the difference of how the women models looked in color, as opposed to the black and white versions we have come to know.

Oh WOW. I watched every second of that video. It wasn’t so much the color, but the acting of each woman. My grandmother’s cousin was Alice Joyce, a silent film star. I was expecting her to show up on the video! I am fascinated with the actors in silent films… these were beautiful!
i like the color. the gestures and “weird” eye blinking were kind of funny
Um the picture looks exactly like johnny depp
Besides the strange facial expressions, that’s pretty cool.
I have watched many old Black & White films and I must say that the eye blinking almost seemed a prerequisite for actresses.
Cigars for the men and the blinks for the women…too funny~
Very cool video…have to luv the way they applied that blush back then~
The color was much better in quality than the early 3-strip Technicolor movies I have seen done from 1929. The makeup of actresses for b/w was also quite different from those in color film.
