1930. Two-strip technicolor. The effects are very good and the microphones are well-hidden. The song and dancing is typical for the late 20's. And Zelma O'Neal brings both looks and energy. Paramount was getting into financial trouble at this time, and a number of these films did not survive, especially the color versions. Paramount sold most of it's pre-1950 output to MCA in the 1950's, primarily for TV distribution. Universal inherited them when MCA bought that studio in 1962.

Zelma was quite the cute little devil and always enlivened all her films of the period

Hey folks, try to remember that she was a real human being, with a real family who misses her (she passed in 1989), and anything negative you say here is hurtful to us and unnecessary. She had her share of hardship as a human, but I promise you, she was bad-ass. To the person who posted this, thank you. We're glad to see that people remember her fondly.

A 35mm color restoration print was shown at Cinecon in Hollywood a number years ago and it was stunning, much better than this. For some reason that version has never been officially released. The music conducted for this film was by George Olsen, one of the few films he was featured in during this period. It was originally a Paramount production, so it could be owned by Universal.

@@roderickfernandez5382 I was referring to some of the more ridiculous stuff like Jack Haley's eyebrows thing. I didn't mean to suggest it was a detriment to the film, it's actually part of what made the film so enjoyable for me. It's also great to be able to see this 92 yr old film entirely in colour since many from the time now only exist in b&w, that is if they haven't been lost. I found it a fun and beautiful film.

The reason this is not available except in grey market copies, which is probably the source for this clip, is that the estates of Schwab and Mandel, composers of this show for the Broadway stage has forbidden it's release. I'm not sure if they want outrageous sums of money to clear the rights or what. Truly a shame that this cannot get a legit release.

Two color technicolor existed before three color technicolor. Did you know that technicolor is not color at all as it is filmed, but instead a filter is placed over the camera lens consisting essentially a transparent colored lens. The transparent colored lens blocks that color from the spectrum entering the black and white film. The two color like ''Over the Counter (1932) Early Technicolor'' has no blue because no blue filter was used. There is a neat video that shows how> technicolor process
@RayPointerChannel3 жыл бұрын
Well, not quite. What you are saying that there was no "color film" to photograph color. The color was obtained by using color filters with Panchromatic (Black and White) film. Since Panchromatic means "all color," blue was obtainable. It was the old Orthochromatic film that was blind to blue and was used later for special effect situations where blue was used for guides but would not be photographed. The Two-Color Technicolor Process photographed a red and cyan frame simultaneously onto a single negative. The alternating frames were copied onto printing negatives where the impressions from the negs were used to dye the color onto positive print stock.

Wow I've never seen such a clear copy of "Follow Thru"? Where did you get it from? My copy is dreadful. It is obviously from a video tape as I can see video flickering and rolling here and there; but nevertheless it's still the best example of Technicolor I've seen for this movie. Are you allowed to say where you got it from? Any chance of a copy? I will pay for the postage to the UK. Thanks

She did have freckles, but she was American, not Scottish. She was born Zelma Schrader, a preacher's daughter, but ran away from home at 15 to go be on broadway. She and another lady changed their surnames to O'Neal to pursue a sister act, and she soon got picked up for Follow Thru.
