Yeah, the Kodachrome 25 was great stuff (also available in iso 64 and
for a brief time, 200) -- resolution is greater than 100 lines per mm
(about 15,000 pixels per inch), but processing was (is) a nightmare.
Lasts forever, too -- I'm in the slow process of scanning in all my
mother's photographs, starting in the 1930s, and the Kodachromes from
the late 40's are in perfect shape for the most part. Badly
underexposed ones have faded badly in the shadows for some reason,
and the film base on the 828 slides is going bad, but the 35mm is
perfect.
Modern innovations are not always an improvement, I don't think. Not
always cheaper, either!

Some of the most stunning photos I've seen in magazines are shot on
35mm Kodachrome (what speed is that, about ASA 25?)
With the migration to digital and the exceeding demands of Kodachrome
processing, it's all but gone. I think I recall reading that there is
only ONE processor in the United States that will still develop it,
and
the film itself is no longer produced, there's only old inventory that
people are hoarding in freezers.

35mm can shoot great high resolution photos. Shoot ASA400 film
with a small
lens and you get the "crappy 35mm images" mentioned in the
previous post.
Shoot with a professional quality lens with plenty of light gathering
ability and everything changes.
All depends on lens quality, film quality and a good understanding
of your
media.

I've shot for decades for major national magazines (Traditional Home,
Country Home, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Renovation Style, etc.) and they
often ran my 35mm provia images at spread size with no complaint. In
fact, I asked them if they wanted 6x6, as I had the equipment, and
they said well, you could, but these are just fine.
