The first modern ('integrated tri-pack') color film, Kodachrome, was introduced in 1935 based on three colored emulsions. Most modern color films, except Kodachrome, are based on technology developed for Agfacolor (as 'Agfacolor Neue') in 1936. (In this newer technology, chromogenic dye couplers are already within the emulsion layers, rather than having to be carefully diffused in during development.) Instant color film was introduced by Polaroid in 1963. I have often heard 'The Wizard of Oz' announced as the first film of color, but perhaps this is only due to its popularity and the fact that it was ONE of the first.

Cupid Angling, 1918, silent movie. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/7698 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. http://www.cool-movie-trivia.com/.../...wers_08_10_03.htm Aug 01 07, 11:48 PM

Photo-Drama of Creation (1914) "This presentation combined motion pictures and a slideshow, synchronized with sound (the first time such synchronization had been achieved). It took the audience from the time of Creation to the end of the Millennium." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162536/trivia Dec 14 07, 1:15 PM

'With Our King and Queen Through India' (also known as 'The Durbar at Delhi') 1912. WIKI thinks this is the first color movie (but no talk.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_Our_King_and_Queen_Through_India [Added reference link, however this article does not say anything about being the first color movie. - McG] Aug 02 09, 11:15 AM
