I have read that the poor color frequently seen in older movies is due to
deterioration of the film.  If you look at, for instance, a Kodak box,
you'll see a disclaimer to the effect that Kodak won't warrant the color
dyes against changing with time.  Unfortunately, the change seems to be
in the direction of weakening both red and green, which is "perpendicular"
to the direction that the red-vs-green control on normal color TVs works.

This problem can be cured by special processing, but it is very expensive.
