Technicolor's Competing Hirlicolor Produces Comparative Results in Seafaring Film
Technicolor wasn't the only color format in Hollywood in the mid-1930s. Cheaper, less vibrant systems were being used, mostly in lower budgeted 'Poverty Row' movies. April 1936 "Captain Calamity," a Grand National Film production, jumped on the pirate theme filming with the Hirlicolor process. Named after its inventor, George Hirliman, the system was part of the Cinecolor's early subtractive two color movie process developed in 1932. Animated cartoon studios, barred by Technicolor's vibrant three-strip process because of its exclusive contract with Walt Disney, were looking to splash some color in their cartoons besides the older Technicolor technology. Fleischer Studios, Ub Iwerks, and Warner Brothers in its Looney Tunes series all used Cinecolor with some reasonable results despite its limitations to only red and green dyes. As the years progressed, Cinecolor was able to achieve a look some some say nearly equaled Technicolor's red, green and blue separate film strips in the camera.
