Boy, the lighting in those interior shots is terrific considering the film asa was 64.....can't beat Kodachrome, too bad it's all history now.
Thanks for posting

Bob, that ASA 64 was the more modern version. If I remember correctly, the Kodachrome I first used back in the Stone Age (1955) was ASA 16. That's the daylight film. The Type A may have been a little faster, but not much. It certainly was good stuff. Some of my sixty-year-old slides look like they could have been shot last week.

And I thought 64 was slow...I never shot much Koadchrome, had to send it to the Great Yellow Father for processing and 95% of my work was on medium and large format films. E-4 and E-6 was the preferred medium for commercial use for color separations at the time, we could process it ourselves or through a local lab. Most don't realize that many of the stills taken during WWII were with a 4x5 Speed Graphic, one sheet at a time. It used to be an art to "push" films, now one simply adjusts the one eyed computer to the correct asa, iso or whatever it is called now. The photographs Herb posted are wonderful art forms today, when they were taken it was simply what it took to "get the shot"....ah for the good old days when you had to know what an f stop was.
