They should pass a law to make WWII a black and white war.
We all get really thrown seeing that era in color. It doesn't look real.
Schicklgruber looks odd in color playing with Blondie who also looks bad in
color.
So do our people and the landscape.
We'd like to pretend color was a post war innovation for some reason.
I think color film became easily available on the shelves a few years after
WWII.
Ernst Hass started with it buying it in camera stores in NY in 1949.
A few years later his double issue spread in LIFE of his color work which in
some way put color on the map.
