It all looks dyed, not recorded — and that's because it was.
This is wrong. Technicolor looked unrealistic because of insufficient technological development, not a weakness inherent to the method. The camera in your smartphone uses a very similar color-filtering technique to produce accurate colors.

This is different than the e.g. the Kodachrome process where the developer reacts with the exposed silver to form an insoluble dye.
