Universal's "Foxfire" produced in 1954 and released in 1955 was the last American made film shot in 3 strip Technicolor*. However, in 1975
Technicolor processed its last domestic film in the 3 strip process (a re-print order of Disney's "Swiss Family Robinson") and closed its dye transfer plant in Hollywood*. The term "Color by Technicolor" in the credits ment that Technicolor handled all stages of the lab work. "Print by Technicolor" indicated that Technicolor was only responsible for the final-release prints.
Today, the word "Technicolor" generally appears alone in the credits.
