To be fair I think audiences in the twenties had actually seen colours before.

I was thinking more of the increased resolution and detail.

I’ve no idea. I didn’t think resolution really applies to film emulsions.
The poor quality might be more a consequence of the age of the film when it was duplicated or digitised. It’s fair to say that they weren’t filming with good glass at 60fps though.
Do have a look at that vampire film, it has Eddie Izzard, Udo Kier, and Cari Els explaining how to do slow-motion while wielding a Luger.

Isn't a lot of the issues with quality/resolution often down to the prints/transfer that have been seen in subsequent decades rather than the original?
Thinking mainly of copies used by or made for TV rather than more recent restorations.
