What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.
"I thought this movie was going to be in technicolor, " I complained.
I remember going to see THE WIZARD OF OZ and being very upset when it wasn't in color, as advertised. It was a strange sepia color, as dusty looking as the pre-tornado Kansas it portrayed. But then, be still my heart, Dorothy, tossed and blown, awakened in Oz, and the world became magically, extraordinarily vivid, alive with color. It was unforgettable.
(Note: the only thing that still comes close to matching that amazing moment when a colorless world is changed to a kaleidescope of color is whenever I leave the dirty, dark concrete back ramps and walk through the entry way to my seat at FENWAY PARK.)
