Arturo Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Thank you Lav. Funny, but when you mentioned the sepiatone and color scenes, my mind went to the tinted scene in this film, but I consciously thought about an early pre-three strip Technicolor talkie, and dismissed POJ from my mind. Been awhile since I’ve seen the film in its entirety. Link to post Share on other sites
