re: Kodachrome

Great story!

It's well-known that George Gershwin shot pre-production rolls of
Kodachrome with his movie camera and Leica just before his death in 1937. 
Late photographs show Gershwin with his Leica around his neck, and his
Kodachrome movies have been released in documentaries on his life.
