One thing I have always wondered about early color films is why we dont't
get color like that today.  I saw Eroll Flyn's Robin Hood movie several
times in the last 4 or 5 years, and remember being impressed with how
vivid the color was in comparison to recent movies; I recall making  the same
observation about other old color films too.

Is this a concious choice by today's film makers?  Was the technology too 
expensive to support after the demise of the studio system or what?
