GOLF AT THE CINEMA, golfers, in Lloyd Corrigan's Technicolor - Lot 66
GOLF AT THE CINEMA, golfers, in Lloyd Corrigan's Technicolor film "Follow Thru", 1930
Photo, vintage silver print enhanced with color
Annotated on back
Dimensions: 25.5 x 20.2 cm
Note: This photograph is from the musical film Follow Thru, directed by Lloyd Corrigan and Laurence Schwab, released in 1930. Adapted from a successful Broadway musical (1929), the film takes place in the world of a golf club, a setting associated with the elegance and social leisure of the time.
Shot at the start of the talking picture era, Follow Thru was one of the first Hollywood musicals to use Technicolor, a relatively rare process in the early 1930s. Scenes featuring female golfers illustrate the light, sporty aesthetic of the film, which blends romance, comedy and musical numbers in a resort setting.
This image, a period silver print enhanced with color, bears witness to the promotional iconography of early Technicolor films and the representation of sport and leisure in American cinema in the early 1930s.

The color-enhanced print illustrates the visual aesthetic associated with Hollywood's first color productions, and bears witness to the promotional iconography of musical films in the early 1930s.
