And the color process is really fairly good, considering the age of the film. Interestingly, William Friese-Greene, the man who invented the color process used here, was unable to show movies using his process because a pair of inventors had developed and patented another color process, and claimed tha any color film infringed on their patent (according to Wikipedia). Ça plus la change, as they say.
