Shirley Temple's own 'Colorization' Story...!


I didn't see this mentioned in the long-standing colorization thread, but it's a memory I have reading in a print magazine, where she told an anecdote about the topic. One of those little stories that sticks with you! This would've been 1998 at the time of her Kennedy Center Honor, link to the quote is below...

" I like 'Heidi' and 'The Little Princess' was a fine movie. That one was made in Technicolor. I went to a video store not long ago and the clerk didn't recognize me. I asked him, 'Do you have any Shirley Temple movies?'. He said 'Oh we have a lot of them. I have one called 'The Little Princess', that's been colorized.' I said 'Sir, that was made in Technicolor originally.' He said, 'No, no, they did have that then.' Finally I said 'Look, I was there, trust me!.'"

(It's like a micro-fiche scan. Use the "zoom out" to read it a bit better! )
