[waddlerobloxxxx]

and now its viacom

[WalDemento999]

Cool! I kinda want to I wanna watch the movie, is it good?

[jbeast181]

this was probably a silent movie I hate those kind of movies.

[MattTheSaiyan]

Hmm i love two-strip Technicolor.

[fyphfoko]

i've always wondered why they always put the "the end" caption over the entire logo, they did it on a number of films. its kinda under effective...

[mikemcgee]

the version on dvd part of the package of silent classics with social pproblems just had a modern piano score cause only half of the original soundtrack exist

[RQBtv]

My mother loves the E in " The End "

[RICKROLLBLENDER]

Two Strip Technicolour FTW!!!

There was a sound-on-film process earlier than 1927. It's the basis of what we use today in non-digital cinema. Eddie Cantor doing bits of his Broadway show was shot at the old Rivoli Theatre in NYC in 1923.

If you type in "Eddie Cantor Phonofilm" in the search box, you can see it. The jokes are little corny (I found them funny, but I like old stuff), otherwise, it's fantastic quality for 1923.

@murielsartre yeah, then pat powers stole it O.o

[prodfan2010]

Do you have any more Paramount logos in two-strip Technicolor?

[LJK193]

Wait they had color movies back in 1929? Wow

[LJK193]

Or is it originally in black and white and they colorized it?

[looneywoman]

They had something called two-strip technicolor back in the twenties, even before sound had been perfected. There is apparently footage from the original 1920s version of "Ben-Hur" that was in two-strip technicolor; not 100% sure if it made the final cut of the film, though...

[KentuckyFriedGunman]

@looneywoman

That Pre-Hays Code footage isn't there because that footage is a parade where Judah Ben-Hur's appearance is preceded by a couple of bare-chested women marching and throwing roses.

[KentuckyFriedGunman]

No. It's back when movies were only in Two-Color Technicolor.

[RyuichixCMZ]

Where to find the movie Redskin?

[WalDemento999]

@RyuichixCMZ Bad news first and good news second. BAD NEWS: No single disc DVD has been released for Redskin.  GOOD NEWS: The movie is available on DVD, but it's along with another collection of movies in a 4 - disc DVD set called 'Treasures III: Social Issues in American Film 1900-1934'. All movies are officially remastered You can find it on Amazon.com, but I would check the price for the set and save my money before buying.

[neinsudtexas10]

I like the music also. Is this a good movie?

[Kartoonkid95]

Love the music! Very jazzy!

[simblos]

It's from the title song - "Redskin" by J.S. Zamecnik.

[Kartoonkid95]

If the film was silent (besides music score & effects), how can some sing the title song?

[randyriddle]

They commonly wrote theme songs for silent movies to promote the films and to see if they could create a hit song at the same time - extra money for the studios. One of the funniest examples is the early talkie drama "Dynamite" that has a theme song that goes something like "Dynamite, dynamite, blow my lover back to me...".

[neinsudtexas10]

The came out with talking films in 1927. Al Jolson was the first to sing in a movie in 1927.

[MrFb09]

Great post - it was actually released early in 1929.

It had two distinctions - it was Paramount's last silent picture, and also the studio's first in Technicolor (well, most of it was; a few scenes were shot in B/W when the film overrun its cost).

[simblos]

I know the movie was released in 1929, but the opening credit says "Copyright - MCMXXVIII", so I presume the color logo was made in 1928.

[lno2k6]

@simblos Many distinctions of cartoons and movies (even television) when a program was released between the months of January and February, a program copyrighted an previous year probably because a program was finished around December of that previous year.

[JesseL85719]

@MrFb09 Technally it wasn't their first color movie. Some Color movies by Paramount came before this one.
