Again, I didn't argue whether or not the movie should look blue - I simply said it does. That was in response to the notion that people only thought it looked blue because they were being influenced by screen shots...haineshisway said:As opposed to what other kind of emphasis - yellow?The image looks like a dye transfer print of that era, just as it should.
Just for clarification and maybe because I wasn't clear, I meant that people may have been influenced by the screen shot comparisons into thinking it looked TOO blue. There's no question there's a lot of blue in it.Colin Jacobson said:

Well, when you say there's a "teal push" you are implying certainly that something was done that perhaps shouldn't have been - that's what people read into statements like that, with "teal push" being one of the most overused, abused, and now cliched statements of 2013Colin Jacobson said:

"Teal push" "teal emphasis" the point is the same.
So because you're tired of the word "teal" and think it's a cliche, does that mean it no longer exists in modern movies? Does that mean "Desk Set" doesn't have blue - or dare I say TEAL - overtones because you don't want to hear the word any more?haineshisway said:Thank you for posting the obvious
I think you know exactly what I was saying and what my point was and we can just leave it at that - you seem to want to be argumentative, which doesn't interest me. - Desk Set looks as it should and all Technicolor films of that era look the same with the same amount of blue. I'm not talking about modern movies - Desk Set has no "overtones" it shouldn't have. Again, the way you worded your post might lead some to believe that there is, as you call it, a "teal emphasis" and that that is somehow wrong. That is all.Colin Jacobson said:

First off, happy 2014. I just watched it again, just to try and see what a handful of people are seeing. But I don't. If you watch the credits, which appear on a typing paper background that paper is white as white can be. If they'd done some sort of weird overall thing with blue you'd see it right there. Then as soon as the film proper begins, whites are white (note Miss Hepburn's blouse), and every other color - red, yellow, orange, brown, gray and skin tone - is rendered perfectly and accurately. Blacks are absolutely black unless a blue gelled light is hitting them - and that's very easy to tell in the first sequences with Miss Hepburn in her office. Watch her telephone - black until it's hit with a blue gelled light, at which point it reflects that light. This is the way these films looked and this is a beautiful transfer and a really wonderful movie to boot.bugsy-pal said:
