The color is really good in that. Hard to believe it is that old.

The color looks much too good as well as the movement. This looks like the 24fps that became standard later. I can’t say it’s a fake but it does look very good for its time.

The reason it’s so good after so long is that the images are black-and-white. Unlike colour images on film that are created using dyes, black-and-white images consist of grains of silver so they’re not subject to fading; properly processed and stored black-and-white images can last for centuries without fading. The colour is reproduced by projecting the film through filters which can be replaced when they fade.
