Likely true. Any time you use skylight (the cyan light reflected off the 
sky) isn't going to work. And Kodachrome is definitely not the film to use. 
Professional Ektachrome (stay away from the saturated and warm tone 
versions) is probably the best choice. It tends to be the most accurate in 
rendering color. But you might be better off using flash, rather than 
daylight directly, which can be quite harsh.
