Dargo Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Excuse me here Doc, but don't you think you should have maybe left this "correction" of T-Newton's The Wizard of Oz post to our Michigander friend Sepiatone???

T-Newton Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Actually the sepiatone segments in The Wizard of Oz were originally B&W, including the title cards, so I changed it to that on purpose. I also remember when I first saw the movie when I was very young, those segments were still in B&W until they changed it a few years later. Disregard that last statement... Now, more title cards... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were filmed on Sepia Tone film, which gave it more of a brownish tint. However, from 1949, all the prints shown of Oz were in black and white. The movie wasn't restored to the original sepia tones until a 50th Anniversary special-edition videocassette was released in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dargo Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hey! I gotta question here for you folks, and which was spurred by these title cards. Does anybody know why and/or how the practice started of showing the copyright dates of films in Roman numerals? (...one slightly used chariot goes to the first person who gives me a reasonable answer to this...you probably won't want it, though...the wheels are shot and the hook-up thingy that goes to the horses is missing) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(...one slightly used chariot goes to the first person who gives me a reasonable answer to this...you probably won't want it, though...the wheels are shot and the hook-up thingy that goes to the horses is missing) Someone asked this on the site Stack Exchange, and the best answer would be one of two things, according to Imponderables: The Solution to the Mysteries of Everyday Life by David Feldman: 1. Deception theory: to "make it difficult for viewers to determine how old the show/film is", the reason being the older the date, the "staler" the material may seem to the audience. 2. Inertia theory: That's just the way it's always been done. I'd like that Chariot now, so I can pretend I'm Charlton Heston in Ben-Hur, please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
