UPDATE, NOVEMBER 16, 2019
Continuing to audition classic movies on our newly restored 1954 Westinghouse H840CK15 with 15GP22 cathode ray tube. This video features snippets from the 1953 film, “Kiss Me Kate”. The film debuted just 3 months prior to the Westinghouse going on sale, the world’s *first* color television.
An ex-husband and wife team star in a musical version of “The Taming of the Shrew”, off-stage, the production is troublesome with ex-lovers’ quarrels and a gangster looking for some money owed to them.
The film was photographed using the Ansco color process and printed at the Technicolor lab in Hollywood. This film is a light hearted musical with comedic performances by James Whitmore and Keenan Wynn. Very colorful movie to demonstrate the performance of the *first* all electronic color television offered to the public.
* There were two other color televisions available prior to the Westinghouse H840CK15.
