And speaking of color & Paramount, that studio produced quite a large number of films in Technicolor during the late 30's and thru the 40's but I don't think many perople today realize that because that library has barely been tapped into the way the Fox and MGM libraries have. Let's try to get TCM to license some of these and encourage Universal to make them available on DVD. For example:
THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE (1936 - the first outdoor 3-strip Technicolor picture)
EBB TIDE (1937), MEN WITH WINGS (1938), HER JUNGLE LOVE (1938), UNTAMED (1940), VIRGINIA (1941), BAHAMA PASSAGE (1941), TYPHOON (1940), LADY IN THE DARK (1944), BRING ON THE GIRLS (1945- Veronica Lake's only Technicolor film), ALOMA OF THE SOUTH SEAS (1941), THE FOREST RANGERS (1942), RAINBOW ISLAND (1944), BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON (1942), DIXIE (1943), DESERT FURY (1947), RIDING HIGH (1943), HAPPY GO LUCKY (1942).

It's one of a couple of Bob Hope Paramount films now owned by Universal which have been out of distribution for years. The other is "Let's face It" (1943) with Betty Hutton. "Nothing But The Truth" (1941) & "The Cat and the Canary (1939) both with Paulette Goddard are also hard to find.
