A 1940s Technicolor film still of a wiry woman in her forties with copper-red hair prying open a steel locker inside a brightly colored rocket cargo bay.

In the riveted cargo hold of a moon-bound rocket, a determined stowaway pries open an iron ration locker while the green glow of Earth fills the porthole behind her. Shot on a three-strip camera with Technicolor Process No. 4, the frame bursts with saturated primaries, bright studio key lighting, and rich dye-transfer grain, crossed by a sharp lens flare and soft halation around the cabin bulbs.
