What was it?

Good question. Without a doubt, most movie buffs will know that the first 'talkie' was Al Jolson's "The Jazz Singer". However, the first color movie is a little more obscure. The most well-known movies to use color were "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone With the Wind", both from 1939.

However, pre-dating those classics by more than 20 years was a 1918 silent film called "Cupid Angling". This is the accepted 'first' color feature-length film, and is also the oldest listed on IMDB as color. IMDB also has heaps of color shorts which predate even this, the earliest listed is from 1902. The actual first filming process was called Kinemacolor, and was invented in 1908 by a Brit named Charles Urban. The more well-known Technicolor corporation was founded in 1918. Prior to 1908, the 'color' movies produced were with hand-tinted frames painted by color artists.|

Hi seal where u been? I automatically thought of the Wizard of Oz, as the use of colour was part of the transition from reality to Oz and proved very effective. Speak soon eh?
