**Becky Sharp** _1935, Rouben Mamoulian_ This was Hollywood’s first feature length three-strip Technicolor film, using three negatives per camera for each primary color of light: red, green, and blue. You can see [here](http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/oldcolor/beckycompare.htm) the vast improvement that three-color processes represented over the earlier two-color processes. Adapted from William Makepeace Thackeray’s _Vanity Far_, the film is a bold and dramatic commentary on the morality of 19th century English society. Its title character (played by Miriam Hopkins, who earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress) is self-centered and oblivious to the needs of people around her until finally she does a good deed for someone else, when her life and her outlook changes. Audiences were wowed both by her stunning and sensitive performance as well as the film’s rich and sumptuous color. There was now no turning back. Viewers were immediately spoiled, and this film marked the beginning of the end (with a couple of rare exceptions) for black and white major motion pictures. Rescuing segments of the film that were literally strewn around the world, UCLA Film and Television Archive painstakingly restored it frame by frame to nearly its original brilliance in 1984. ---
