I certainly won't argue with someone who actually knows about this stuff, I'd just observe that a lot of photography and movies (Hollywood included) from the 1930s and 40s has this kind of look. I have a DVD "America's War in Colour" and there is a sequence where the colour values suddenly become "modern" and the contrast with what went before is quite startling.

Is some of the variation because different colour processes were being used, perhaps?
