why was the print "kodachromed?" or red?  did the photos get taken off a 
print, or did
someone actually dub a print this bad to tape or digital and broadcast it?

as horrible as old 70's stuff is, usually the awful colors are correct 
on the tapes as they
dont fade, even if they look like hell when played back.  this looks 
like the source is from
a kodachrome print that has shifted all red.  I skipped forward to see 
if it got better or if
the lighting was responsible, but it looks like the color is from film.
