Abstract
In 1944, at the end of his life, the legendary and innovative silent film director D. W. Griffith learned that his old friend Billy Bitzer had begun working with a new technology: motion pictures with color. An embittered man, Griffith predicted: "They'll never go, Billy. Color will take people's minds from the story." Like most technological prophets, Griffith was partly wrong and partly right.
