One of the book's highlights is an extensively annotated filmography of every film produced in two-color Technicolor from 1917 to 1937, compiled by Crystal Kui and James Layton (with the collaboration of Almudena Escobar López, Daisuke Kawahara, and Catherine A. Surowiec). Many entries are accompanied by frame enlargements from surviving prints or fragments of prints--from an image of Gloria Swanson in Stage Struck to a title card for Clara Bow's Red Hair. For many film buffs, this section alone will make The Dawn of Technicolor a must.--Leonard Maltin "Indiewire"
