Although Republic made most of its films in black and white, it occasionally produced a higher-budgeted film, such as "The Red Pony" (1949) and "The Quiet Man", in Technicolor. During the late 1940s and 1950s, Yates utilized a low-cost Cinecolor process called Trucolor in many of his films, including "Johnny Guitar", "The Last Command" (1955), and "Magic Fire" (1956). In 1956 the studio came up with its own widescreen film process, Naturama, with "The Maverick Queen" being the first film made in that process.
