| A black-and-white kinescope has been colorized in a project led by the network's Jim Nantz, and the result will be broadcast in April. Standing there, I had a sensation of what might have rushed through Foster's mind on a routine day, the kinescope of memory and desire that he--like me and every human being--carried in his head: worries, lusts, melodies, heartbreaks, hopes, regrets, the ceaseless flicker of light and faces that flit through the dark. Viewers interested in recapturing this bit of camp history are out of luck--tragically, those kinescopes are not included in the documentary and may have been permanently erased by CBS years ago. |
