I’ve made it a habit to look for her name whenever I watch a technicolor movie from the mid ‘30s to late ‘40s ❤️. Her work was truly revolutionary. Side note but I came across her profile page on Letterboxd and let me just say, I’m appalleddd. Why is she listed on less than 5 projects and has no biography? This was a woman credited in 100s of movies, some of the most ICONIC landmarks in cinema history, and yet her legacy, even on an app that seems to champion talent relatively lost to time (even cast and craft), is under the wraps. Crazy honestly. That being said, I’m glad she’s slowly gotten more recognition over the past decade or so. I think resources like Historical Film Colors and your channel are super important and make this history much more accessible to the average person. Especially the younger generation. As a 17-year-old, it’s crucial we persevere that history and keep it alive. Thank you for what you do 🙏
This was amazing, guys❤ I recently stumbled upon that Technicolor documentary narrated by Angela Lansbury, so this was a nice companion piece. I'd love for more of these deep dives into the talent behind the camera that contributed so much to film history. Maybe one day delve into Busby Berkeley
Isn’t that a great documentary?! We’re glad you found us and thanks for the suggestion! Neither one of us knows much about Busby behind the camera. Our next episode is about a special effects team made up of two brothers from the 1930s.
Your research is incredible! I don’t know how or where you get your information but it’s fascinating and Natalie’s name was on so many movies of the golden age. You are being very respectful to her contribution to film despite her shortcomings 😊
Thank you! We are so happy that the tone came across as we had hoped. This was a very hard subject to balance. We left out quite a few stories from our original audio podcast where we were able to focus on Herbert and Natalie’s relationship more. If you enjoyed this and want to hear even more Natalie stories, I’d recommend checking it out TECHNICOLOR PART II: THE DRAMA. perfdamage.com/episode/technicolor-part-two-the-drama-episode-22
Recently saw for the first time, "Black Narcissus" on Hollywood Suite. OMG! Commenting here as a 73 yr old Canadian movie fan and this is first time I've heard of Natalie Kalmus, her career accomplishments or her on-set escapades. Truth indeed, is stranger than fiction... I guess Natalie Kalmus (in the later stages of her life), is where Donnie TRump's lawyers originated his 'sue me-sue you blues' playbook from. lol For all her foibles, her legacy to cinema is still undeniable though.
So glad this video was recommended to me! Very well researched and super informative. Y’all have great conversational skills. Definitely subscribing for more!

I don’t think he was reading even though he’s a cameraman! And I love the wine breaks. Really interesting story and great show!
Thank you for coming to my defense! I totally had that one and I want credit for it Charlotte.
(This is Charlotte) I’m still not convinced! He brought the movie up last week with the wrong date!
Asta ❤ oh and there’s Ripley ❤ blends in!
Yes Asta and Ripley are the real stars of Perf Damage! -A
@@PerfDamagePodcast took me an embarrassingly long time to see Ripley. My eyes are getting old 🤣
❤❤❤
Natalie would be infuriated by your backdrop
