The three strip TECHNICOLOR camera used in the WIZARD OF OZ was awesome. Three black and white negatives ran through the camera; two sandwiched together and one on the other side of a dichroic prism. So the color seperations were made in the camera in perfect registration. The lens system was designed by Cooke in England and had unsurpassed resolving power. This camera was huge when it was in a sound proof blimp and weighed in at several hundred pounds. I haven't seen any long crane-dolly (moving camera) takes even with the advent of a STEADYCAM to equal the camera work in this film with this huge heavy camera. Unfortunately, many camera negatives have not been cared for like this one has. Many fine films are virtually lost due to negative shrinkage or in some cases self combustion in the case of nitrate stock that wasn't replaced until the early fifties. Ray
