Thank you, technicolor, for the brilliant green of the dress Cyd Charisse wears in "Singin' in the Rain"!
The other film that immediately came to mind was How to "Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", but I wasn't sure whether or not 3 strip technicolor was used at that later date. I pulled this quote from a cinemetography forum:

3-strip Technicolor was obsolete by 1955. In the 1960's most productions would have been using 35mm Eastmancolor (Kodak color negative), 50 ASA and then a 100 ASA stock by 1968.
So what you're responding to is mainly art direction and lighting in terms of the level of color saturation, combined with the fact that many releases used Technicolor's dye transfer printing process until the mid 1970's. Probably Kodak's Vision Premier print stock (2393) comes closest to that look, but I'd start with art direction and lighting, using slow film stock and bigger lights.
