the garden of allah be one of the first feature length and 3 strip technicolor film . to correct a previous poster the first technicolor feature ( after disney 5 year exclusivity deal ) be 1935 becky sharp which be a costume drama that use the color for it garish color costume . the garden of allah look a if it could have be shoot year later a the cinematography use not only the color but also the use of shadow . it must have be amaze for an audience at the time to see a color feature after see basically only black and white film for their whole life . unfortunately and the film do not stand up to the cinematography . that be say and the film be worth see just a a visual treat .
