Kodak has filed for bankruptcy in a bid to survive a liquidity crisis after years of falling sales related to the decline of its namesake film business as digital cameras have taken over the market.

Eastman Kodak Co, the photographic film pioneer, which had tried to restructure to become a seller of consumer products like cameras, said it had also obtained a $950m, 18-month credit facility from Citigroup to keep it going.

Kodak test out their new-fangled colour film back in 1922, 13 years before the first-ever full-colour feature and 17 years before the Wizard of Oz.

Featuring actresses of the day, Mae Murray, Hope Hampton and Mary Eaton from the Zeigfield Follies.

Classy beyond words.
