Abstract
Abstract The chapter “Mamoulian and Color” takes a chronological look at the four Technicolor films Rouben Mamoulian directed—Becky Sharp (1935), Blood and Sand (1941), Summer Holiday (1948), and Silk Stockings (1957)—and how his color methods fit his broader theories of artistry. Becky Sharp was the first three-strip Technicolor feature, yet it was only an opening volley for Mamoulian, who formulated a more carefully controlled and rigorous color plan for Blood and Sand and Summer Holiday. Blood and Sand demonstrated the value of basing color design off the palettes of famous painters, while Summer Holiday featured one of the first overt experiments with subjective color. Taken together, Mamoulian’s films offered early pathbreaking approaches for three-strip color design.
