Weren't the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954 broadcast in color? BTW, I once found a book with color photos from WWI (not WWII, WWI). I was absolutely transfixed by those color photos.

I don't know.
I was only two-years-old then,
and all I've ever seen has been the B&W ancient-history newsclips.

I was absolutely transfixed by those color photos.

Interestingly, I DO have vague memories of color TV before I was 4 years old.
(We moved to a different home that summer, which is how I can be certain of my age.)
Anyway, the neighbor who lived across the street from us must've worked for RCA.
Everybody in the whole neighborhood was crammed into his living room with all the other lights out to watch the color TV.
I can't actually remember what show was on, just this dazzling pretty display of color that I had never seen before. Fifteen years later, I probably would've described the experience as "psychedelic".

Just this past Christmas Day, TNT showed a silent picture from the 20's depicting the last day of Christ. First of all I couldn't believe that TNT showed the movie.

The special effects I have to say were quite impressive. The movie was in black and white until the Resurrection and then it went to color and I was transfixed also, thinking that movie audiences at the time were amazed at seeing the appearance of color in a movie during the 20's.

I caught the movie in the middle and TNT didn't show the title.
