Technicolor has a very interesting history. I've got the book, Glorious Technicolor, in my collection library.
As of right now, I have 185 Technicolor prints in my collection. They are as beautiful today as the day they were printed... some are over 50 years old!!

Your film collection sounds fabulous! Since you have worked in the Television industry, I dare say there is probably a very interesting book in you just waiting to be written!
