Did you know that almost all of the black and white shows did not use colors that you would think would be used. I understand this is because the camera saw the shades differently than a film camera, and red would always look black, white was just too glaring and they substituted pail yellows for it much of the time. So I hate to brake this to you, but Superman's cape was not red in the B&W TV show.
They must have had an amazing time on set and now that I know it was a pink set, I can imagine that it was even more fun. Great share, thank you!

ReplyDeleteVery interesting Margaret Siemers . I guess it should be obvious but it's just something that I never really thought about.
