UPDATE, NOVEMBER 11, 2019
This video features snippets from the 1948 Technicolor movie, “The Red Shoes” as viewed on the *first color television in the world.

A young ballet dancer is torn between the man she loves and her pursuit to become a prima ballerina. The film won two Oscars and numerous other awards. Natalie Kalmus, the color consultant for the film and co- owner of Technicolor, believes this film to be their best work with Technicolor film processing. This film is one of my favorite classic’s because of its refined color palette. I think it presents well here, considering the age of the television and imaged on the first production color cathode ray tube. During the sequences, a fan can be heard droning in the background. It was installed to protect critical components on the chassis. After 45 days viewing this set after restoration, the set is stable, the tuner remains drift free and overscan on the 15GP22 is minimal for a color television from this era.

* The Admiral C1617A was the first color television offered for sale. The 1954 Westinghouse H840CK15 may have been the first color set sold.
