Hidden Color Photo Of John Gilbert From THE BIG PARADE

Post by Gagman 66 »


:D Holy Smokes! This is truly amazing! The faded photo-of John Gilbert from THE BIG PARADE wearing His Dough-Boy Helmet that Johanna posted a couple nights ago of the TCM forum, is actually in Two-Color Technicolor!

:shock: I did not Colorize the photo. I did not do anything to it, except hit "Auto Contrast", and "Auto-Levels". This startling color image was the result!

:) Remember that portions of THE BIG PARADE were originally filmed in 2-Strip Technicolor, though the footage is now lost. This may be an example of what it looked like in the film at the time? Pretty impressive if you ask me! Now, where can I find one like this of Renee Adoree??? :oops:

It looks lovely Gagman. Can't help you on where to find Renee Adoree.
