Kodachrome, which debuted in 1935, is a victim of the digital age and rival films from Fuji. Today it accounts for less than 1% of Kodak's total sales of still-picture films.
Kodak's hometown paper, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, explains what made it special:

". . . everything looks worse in black and white."
