King Of Jazz (1930) Restored Technicolor Sequence

This restored clip courtesy of UNIVERSAL STUDIOS features the newly restored “Rhapsody In Blue“ number from “KING OF JAZZ“ (1930). , as painstakingly restored in 2015/16 by Universal Studios. This is the very first time since 1930 that we are actually seeing the 2-Strip Technicolor as was originally printed/produced 86 years ago. In other words - we are finally seeing what the original 1930 audiences saw. Back then they could not reproduce the colour blue; hence the tinge of Mint Green/Sage Green/Puce Green... all were attempts to render a hint of blue.. There is also a book being produced this year called “KING OF JAZZ: THE MAKING OF PAUL WHITEMAN’S REVUE“ by James Layton and David Pierce. It will feature a foreword by Michael Feinstein.
