Interesting process, but light years away from Kodachrome.

The beginnings of colour using different processes,I would imagine how amazing it must've been to see colour for the first time!

Claude Friese Green was filming in colour in the early 1920s. I have some Kodachrome from 1937 or 1938. The first attempt at it wasn't stable. This is not bad, but not as good as the Kodachrome that we remember.

I remember buying a roll of 120 Dufaycolor in 1948. The film was returned after processing in an envelope with eight transparencies.
I went back to my dealer who said that I would have to hold them up to the light to see them.
Dufaycolor had not perfected colour prints. It was an additive colour transparency process.

It seems that later Polavision used a colour system close to Dufaycolor. "Unlike other motion picture film stock of the time, Polavision film reproduces color by the additive method, like the much earlier Dufaycolor film. In essence, it consists of a black-and-white emulsion on a film base covered with microscopically narrow red, green and blue filter stripes." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polavision

Very nice, that color makes it look more recent.
