The Campus Vamp

Difficult to find a satisfactory version of this film. The two-reel 19-20 minute version does exist but in a rather poor copy. Most reviewers seem to have seen a cut-down one-reel version which also exists.

Absolutely none of the versions I have seen are actually in colour. They are simply tinted (not even hand-coloured), even those claiming to be "in colour" or even those claiming to show only the colour sequences.

Anybody who does not know the difference should look at some of the early two-strip Technicolor films that do exist - The Toll of the Sea (1922) or The Black Pirate (1926) - if you can find the Technicolor version - or The Viking (1928). It is not possible to confuse the two. Few of the Technicolor sequences that were inserted in many films at this time survive (The Phantom of the Opera is a happy exception as are some of the Von Stroheim films of the twenties).
